Name THE planet?

-- Mercury is visible as a speck near the sun at sunrise and sunset sometimes.

-- Venus is the third brightest natural object in the sky when it's visible.

-- Earth is very easy to find,both day and night. :P

-- Mars looks just like a star but if you look at stars at all you'll easily be able to tell it apart because of it's red color.

-- Jupiter is also very bright and with basic binoculars you can see its four biggest moons.

-- Saturn is the farthest naked-eye (no telescope) planet visible but is still brighter than most stars.

So the only planets you do need a telescope to see are Neptune and Uranus... and to get more than a blue spec out of either it takes quite a telescope.
