The same way you see a rock on the ground at night ... shine a flashlight on it.
That's exactly how we see anything in the solar system ... planets, comets, moons,
asteroids, etc. The sun is the 'flashlight'.

How would you use a telescope to see mars rotation?
Look at Mars through the telescope, pick a spot on the planet you can remember, check back later, find the spot again, it rotated!
Can you see the planet Neptune with the naked eye from earth?
You could see Neptune from Earth with a telescope if you knew exactly where to look.
Which planet is the easies to spot through a telescope?
The Earth is definitely the #1 easiest. Next in line would be Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and Mercury. Each of those is visible without a telescope, so you'd know exactly where to point your telescope by seeing the planet with your eye first. The brightest planet that you do need a telescope to see is Uranus. So you definitely won't miss it when you're pointed at it, but you need to know where to point.
Which planet is the one that how hard you look you cant see it unless you have a telescope?
pluto
Why astronomers uses telescope if you can see the planet by naked eyes?
With a telescope, you can see a lot more detail on the planets surface. Without a telescope you can only see bright dots, like surrounding stars, but with a telescope you can make out more - you can see the rings of Saturn for example of the bands and red spot on Jupiter.

What telescope can you see through to see mars?
All telescopes will see Mars. The larger the scope, the more light that will be collected and the better the image will be of mars. With certain filters, you will be able to disseminate the different areas on the planet.
