Mars. Mercury is small and very close to the Sun, which makes it difficult to see. You can only see Mercury either low in the east just before sunrise, or low in the west just after sunset. You are always seeing Mercury as a crescent. Mars, on the other hand, is frequently high in the sky late at night. Mars, like the Moon, has phases, but you can sometimes see it at "full Mars" when it is in conjunction. NEITHER. Venus is the brightest by far. Then Jupiter.

Sometimes Mercury is reffered to as a morning or evening star also, but it is usually a lot closer to the sun and more difficult to see.
