Which planets are visible without a telescope?
Venus is the brightest light in the sky except for the Sun and moon when it is out. Also, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn are readily visible in the night sky. Mercury is visible, but only right before sunrise or after sunset.
Can you see Venus on earth in the night sky?
You can see Venus almost everytime of year - sometimes it's in the evening sky, in the western part of the sky and sometimes it's in the morning sky, in the eastern part of the sky. Today is currently July 11, 2209 and Venus is visible about an hour or so before sunrise in the east. Mars is a few degrees above Venus. Set an alarm for 4:30 - 5:00 am and go look at them. They're beautiful...
How are Venus's and mars visible together?
If the question is how it is possible to see both Venus and Mars in the same part of the sky on a particular night, the answer would be when Mars is at a point in its orbit that it is either about to go behind the sun from the Earth's perspective or it is emerging from "behind" the sun. Because Venus is closer to the sun than the Earth, we cannot see it late at night when the observer is peering outward in our solar system; the only times are around dusk and dawn when the observer is looking towards the sun but the sun's rays have not yet made the sky too bright to see Venus. This means that the only time we can see Mars and Venus simutaneously is if Mars is also in the direction of Sun. Therefore, if you want to see Mars and Venus at the same time, you have to find out when Mars is out during the early morning and evening and if Venus is also visible during that same time period. Hope this helps!

Both Mercury and Venus orbit close to the Sun (relative to us and the other planets) therefore they would only be visible close to the Sun. This means that Venus and Mercury will only be seen after sunset (and then set) or after sunrise (and then be out-shined by the Sun)

Does Venus disappear during the night?
Only very close to sunrise or sunset. In both cases, it is easier when the sun is below the horizon. The brighter the skies, the more difficult it is to see it. You would also need to know where to look. It will always be close to where the sun is, which is what makes it so difficult to see.
