How can we see planets?

The planets positions change all the time. Some of the planets are easier to see. When they are visible, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn can easily be seen with the naked eye, if you know where to look. The other planets need a set of binoculars or a telescope to see them. Check the site below to help you locate the planets. Currently Jupiter can be seen for a while after sunset, as a bright object low and towards the south.

What planets do you need a telescope to see?

Technically, you can see every planet right up to Pluto (Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune). The last two are of course much tougher to find, since they aren't visible to the naked eye. The other 5 planets can be seen with the eye, so you will obviously be able to see them magnified slightly. If you bought a decently cheap telescope, you SHOULD be able to see Jupiter's Satellite system (the Gallilean moons) and Saturn's rings. Mars is pretty boring in tiny telescopes, and Venus displays some detail.
