Mars is easily visible from Earth. Here in the Spring of 2009, Mars rises about 30 minutes before the Sun does, so it is difficult to see and you have to get up before dawn, but look for a distinctly reddish light in the eastern sky.
As months go by, Mars will rise earlier and earlier, until by fall it will be visible in the evening sky.
it is quite large and reflects a lot of light from our sun
Mars is brightest when it is closest to Earth due to its proximity and position in its orbit, making it easier to see in the night sky. This phenomenon occurs because the amount of sunlight reflecting off Mars is maximized when it is at its closest point to Earth.
Mars is visible from Earth because both planets orbit the Sun. When Mars aligns with Earth in its orbit, it can be seen in the night sky. Additionally, Mars reflects sunlight back towards Earth, making it visible to the naked eye.
We can see Mars from Earth. It looks like a very bright star. So if something van be seen one way , then the return object can be seen too/ From Mars, the Earth will probably look like a very bright large star. Except with binoculars or a telescope the round shape will probably only just been seen .
No, Mars is closer to Earth than Jupiter.
No, Mars does not orbit around the Earth. The moon orbits around around the Earth. Both Earth and Mars orbit around the sun, but Mars is farther away from the sun.
Yes, you can see Earth from Mars at midnight, just as we can see Mars from Earth. However, the visibility will depend on the relative positions of the planets in their orbits at that time. Earth will appear as a bright point of light in the night sky of Mars.
No, you can't ever see a crescent Mars from Earth. Because Mars is farther from the sun than Earth is, there is no point at which less than half of Mars' illuminated size is facing Earth. In other words Mars will always appear as "full" or "gibbous."
You can see Earth, Mars, the Moon and galaxies!
Without a telescope you probably couldn't see earth's moon from Mars.

You see Mars the same way you see the other planets such as Jupiter or Venus; the same way that you see ANYTHING. Light from the Sun shines on all the planets just as it does on Earth, and the reflected light from Mars comes back to your eye here on Earth.
Yes. You can see Mars from Earth. It was discovered by primitive people who watched the night sky and notice that some of the objects, later called planets, did not move with the stars.
No, Jupiter can also be seen by the human eye on earth.
You would need a telescope to see the moons of Mars, Phobos and Diemos, since their apparent magnitudes are +11.3 and +12.4 respectively. But with a good telescope and good conditions you can see them from Earth.
Yes. You would. Mars can be seen from Earth because it's so close to us. But if the whole planet were to blow up or explode, we would be able to see it. Whatever what the explosion would look like if it happens to Mars, then surly we could see it.
Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun. Located between Earth and Jupiter. See related question for distance.
Yes, it is possible to see the Milky Way from Mars. However, the view of the Milky Way from Mars may be different compared to Earth due to the thin atmosphere and lack of light pollution on Mars. Astronomers have even captured images of the Milky Way from Mars using rovers such as Curiosity.
