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.
What else can I help you with?
Would the sun be considered the brightest planet?
The sun is not a planet it is a star
What is Jupiter's brightest object in the sky?
Even on Jupiter, or in the vicinity of Jupiter, the sun is still the brightest object in the sky. The brightest planet would be Saturn.
What object would not be considered a satellite?
An apple on a tree would not be considered a satellite. In astronomy, a satellite is a celestial body that orbits around a planet, dwarf planet, or other larger body in space. The apple on a tree does not meet this criteria.
What is the brightest planet in sky?
Venus is the brightest planet in the sky. It is often referred to as the "evening star" when visible in the western sky after sunset or the "morning star" when visible in the eastern sky before sunrise.
Why from a distance earth would be the brightest of the nine planets?
This is because sunlight is reflected by the planet's water
What moon would look brightest from Jupiter?
Ganymede is the largest moon of Jupiter and would appear the brightest from the planet due to its size and reflectivity. Ganymede's icy surface reflects a high amount of sunlight, making it one of the brightest objects in Jupiter's sky.
Which is brightest planet visible in earth's sky?
== == The closet planet to us is Mars, so that would be easiest to see. Actually, Venus is the brightest plane because it reflects 70% of sunlight
Which is the brighest planet?
By definition, a planet doesn't produce its own light. So the brightest planets are the ones who reflect the most light back out from surrounding stars. In our solar system i'd take a look at venus, and you could even make the argument of Pluto if you wanna push it. Pluto although not considered a planet anymore, but when it was, is covered in ice. Therefore, reflecting more percent of light than most of our planets if not all, making it the "brightest". But at our distance and rationalization venus would probably be your safest bet on a high school exam.
Which planet appears biggest and brightest to the sun at noon Saturn or Pluto or Jupiter?
None of them would be visible. If one was - it would be Jupiter,
Which moon would look the brightest from the surface of Jupiter?
The moon Io would look the brightest from the surface of Jupiter because It is the nearest.
If earth has rings would there be life on the planet?
I don't think so bc of earths gravity it would completely tear our planet apart
Is venus considered a inner planet or outer?
Venus would be considered an inner planet.
