Mercur. It has an orbit that is closer to the Sun, meaning that we'd only see them when the Sun is either up or rising... in other words, not at night.

why was the planet Uranus discovered much later?
Uranus is one of two planetsin the solar system that cannot be seen with the naked eye (the other being Neptune). The other planets (apart from Earth, of course) can be seen by simply looking at the right part of the sky at night. As a result, Uranus was not discovered until some time after the invention of the telescope.

Why do you see planets just after sunset and just before sunset?
The two planets that are between Earth and the sun are Mercury and Venus. Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun. Venus is the second closest planet to the Sun. These two planets can only be seen when the observer on earth is facing towards them. That occurs only during the early morning twilight, the entire day, and the early evening twilight. During the night, and observer is facing away from the two planets. During the day, it is difficult, but not impossible, to see either Mercury or Venus due to the glare of the sun. The remaining planets have an orbit that places them farther out from the sun than earth. They can be seen only when it is night, or early twilight. The three outer planets that are easiest to see with the naked eye at night are Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn.
What two stars are visible in the west at Red Deer this evening?
They were not stars, but were the two planets, Venus and Jupiter. They appear at this time to be quite close together in the sky, but over the next weeks they will seem to drift apart, night by night. This is because of their different orbits and the millions of miles between them.

How can you tell a meteor from a comment in the night sky?
Meteors hit the Earth's atmosphere and burn up in a second or two. They streak across the night sky and are gone. Comets are farther away, and move only slowly, night by night, across the sky.
What two planets are next to the moon in the fall sky?
The positions of the Moon relative to the planets changes on a day-to-day basis, but for the past three weeks or so, Jupiter and Venus have been sharing the western sky in the early evening. Last week, the two planets were accompanied by a waxing crescent moon, bringing a special treat! Check out www.spaceweather.com to see the daily sights in the sky.
Why you cant see any of the inner planets in midnight from earth?
The inner two planets are, from our view, always toward or behind the sun, to a certain extent, when we see the night sky we are looking away from the sun. During the day when our sky views the sun, the sun out shines any and everything near it. Both planets do reflect light but in comparison to the brightness of the sun it is very little and gets drowned out, like a candle in front of a search light. At times the planets will align so that Venus can be viewed during the beginning or end of night, but will never be visible during the middle of the night when our view of the sky is facing directly away from the sun. Mercury is difficult, at best, to view even if it aligns perfectly for viewing and requires special equipment to view.
