Would Mars be considered the brightest planet in the earth's sky?
Mars is not the brightest planet in Earth's sky. As seen from Earth, Venus is the brightest planet. Venus orbits the sun one step inward from Earth, and Mars orbits one step outward. Venus gets slightly closer to us than Mars does, but the main reason Venus looks so bright is that its surface is covered with highly reflective clouds. Mars isn't the second-brightest planet either. Jupiter is. Jupiter is even farther away than Venus or Mars, but it's huge. A dozen planet Earths could fit side by side in front of Jupiter. Mars sometimes gets as bright as Jupiter. That happened last in 2003. But generally Mars exhibits a range in brightness as it and we orbit the sun. Mars can be as bright as the brightest stars (but not as bright as Venus, and usually not as bright as Jupiter). Or Mars can be relatively faint.

Venus. and its actually a planets not a star. Sirius is the brightest star in the sky, but seasons depend if you can see it no matter which hemisphere you are located on.I believe Vega is directly overhead, near zenith, and is also very bright in any location and season. IN the summer, and winter, Rigel in Orion is very bright, but overall go for Sirius. Chachi

I am not sure what exactly you mean with "planetary objects". To see planets, just look up in the evening, and watch out for objects that look like exceptionally bright stars. These days (October 2010), after sunset you can see Venus as a very bright star in the west, and Jupiter as a bright star (less bright than Venus, but otherwise exceptionally bright) in the east.
