Why would you use telescopes to see planets?

Telescopes allow us to see planets in greater detail, revealing their features such as surface markings, moons, and rings. They also help astronomers study planetary atmospheres, temperatures, and compositions, providing valuable information about these celestial bodies. Telescopes enable us to observe planets from great distances and gather data that may not be possible with the naked eye.

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.


How is it possible for us to see the planets if they don't produce their own light?

As most objects do NOT produce their own light, we see them when they reflects light from other sources. The light that reflected from non-luminous objects comes from a light source like Sun or lamp.
