Yes, the planet Mercury is visible from an observer on Earth, without a telescope, although it's harder to spot than Venus. Because its orbit is closer to the sun than ours it will not stray far from the sun in the sky (and unlike planets further out than Earth it will also have phases); it is visible just after sunset or before sunrise depending on the latitude and time of year.
What else can I help you with?
Does the earth have two satellites or Mars?

What term is given to satellites that remain above the same point on the Earth's surface in their orbit?
There are two types of satellites that are located in a foxed spot over earth the first is reconnaissance satellites for observation of earth and usually used by the military.. The second is earth observation satellites and are intended for environmental monitoring

Are earth satellites only scientific satellites?
No. The earth has one natural satellite ... the moon ... and any number of other satellites whose primary purpose is not scientific (e.g. communication satellites).
What is the use of the geostationary satellites pertaining to meteorological processes?
Geostationary satellites, those which orbit at the same speed as the Earth remain fixed over an area of the planet. This allows them to be used as camera platforms to show the motion of the weather patterns relative to an area of the Earth as seen by the satellite.
