Every time they are there .We can see a body if light falls on it or it emits lights.So planets are seen at night, but at day time their intensity of light become very less than the Sun ,so they disappears.
However when the moon eclipse the sun totally we can see them.

How are stars moon and planets alike?
You can see all of them in the sky at night.
Why can you see the planets and your moon in the night sky?
Because the sun shines on them and illuminates them, exactly the way you shine a flashlight on a rock in order to see it at night.
What is the brightest planet in sky?
Venus is the brightest planet in the night sky. Of course, it is the only planet we can see in the night sky. Except, of course, when Mars or Saturn, or any of the other planets, are close enough to Earth for us to see the light reflect from the planet. But then again, Venus would still be the brightest.
What objects do you see in the night time sky?
the moon, stars, planets, sometimes shooting stars and yea that's about it
What 2 planets are in Florida's western night sky?
The two planets in Florida's western night sky are Venus and Jupiter, with Venus being the brighter of the two.
Why can you see other planets?
In the night sky. Jupiter is usually visible, as well as Mars. Venus is visible in the early morning.
When can you see naked eye planets?
You can see five of them in the night sky when it's clear, one of those also in the daytime sky if it's clear and you know exactly where to look, and another one at any time of the day or night even if the sky is cloudy and it's raining.
Do any of the stars you can see have planets around them?
Yes. To date scientists have discovered well over a thousand planets orbiting other stars. It is believe that a large portion of the stars in the night sky have planets.
Why can you se the planets in the night sky?
because they reflect the Sun's light.
Which two planets are not seen in the sky at night and why?
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.
If planets do not produce their own light how are we able to see mars and venus in the night?
The Sun reflects light from the surfaces of the planets and that way we are able to see them from Earth, hence why the further away the planets are, the more difficult it is to see them. Not impossible, but difficult.
What is the evidence that planets are closer to earth than the stars?
The evidence that planets are closer to Earth than the stars is the brightness of the light that each star gives off in the sky. The ones that are farther away are dimmer than the ones closest to us. We can see the planets closest to us in the night sky (Mars, Venus, and sometimes Mercury) because they reflect the light of the sun back to us so that we can see them - however you need to know where to look in the night sky to find them.
