The A planet that can never be seen from Earth at midnight?
Neither Mercury nor Venus are visible at midnight. Both planets are closer to the Sun than the Earth is.
Which of the planets known to the ancients can never be seen high overhead at midnight?
It depends where you are. Some planets can be seen overhead at different times at latitudes up to about 24 or 25 degrees, but at higher latitudes they are never overhead. They are highest in the sky at midnight in the winter. At that time they are passing through the constellations of Taurus and Gemini when seen from the northern hemisphere, or Ophiuchus and Sagittarius from the southern hemisphere. That applies to all eight planets.
Is there a connection between the earths tilt and the tropics of Capricorn and Cancer?
Yes, the tropics are the locations where the sun goes the most north and south. Above the tropics will never see the sun directly overhead.
What planet can never be seen from earth at midnight?
venus... :)
What planet is an outside planet?
The five outer planets are the ones with bigger orbits than the Earth, which are Mars and the four giant planets. The outer planets can be seen at their brightest at midnight, when they are at opposition. That never happens for the inner planets Mercury and Venus.
Which planets are never seen at midnight?
The planet Mercury can never be in the sky at your local midnight. Mercury's orbit is so small that as seen from the earth, it's always near the sun. So if the sun has been down for a while, then Mercury also must be down. Venus can be seen later (or earlier) than Mercury, but it's still inside the Earth's orbit and therefore can't be seen at midnight either.

Is the sun overhead at noon at 42 degrees north?
The sun is never overhead at 42 degrees north.
Why isn't the sun overhead at noon in Texas?
It never is overhead at noon because Texas is not in the northernmost point where the sun passes directly overhead at noon.
