yes, it is.
Jupiter is the second brightest planet in the sky after Venus and the fourth brightest object in the sky. The sun and the moon are the brightest objects in the sky, but they are not planets.
Clouds would be second. Beyond earth's atmosphere the moon would be the brightest object in the sky, now followed by the International Space Station. Venus has been displaced from 3rd to 4th place. None of these objects shine with their own light, but from reflected light of our sun.
Tonight on September 4th, 2010, the bright object you see in the eastern sky is likely the planet Jupiter. Jupiter is one of the brightest objects in the night sky and is often visible to the naked eye.
Jupiter is one of the brightest things in the night sky, not counting the moon. Ancient people just looked up and saw it.
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.
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.

Probably Jupiter. Jupiter is, after all, the 4th brightest object in the sky (after the Sun, Moon, and Venus).
Venus is brighter than Jupiter in the night sky because Venus is closer to Earth and its thick cloud cover reflects more sunlight, making it the third brightest object in the sky after the sun and the moon. Jupiter is the fourth brightest object in the sky and is usually easily visible to the naked eye.

It indicated that Jupiter is the fourth brightest object in the sky (after the Sun, the Moon and Venus).
Nope. It's daytime here. Depending on your location, Jupiter is visible in the night sky for much of the year and , at times, is one of the brightest object in the sky after the moon and Venus.
The brightest OBJECTS in the sky, after the Sun, are the Moon, followed by planets Venus, Jupiter, and Mars (on rare occasions, Mars is brighter then Jupiter), followed by the star Sirius.The brightest stars proper are Sirius, followed by Canopus, Toliman, Arcturus, Vega...
The first recorded observation of Jupiter was by Babylonian astronomers in the 7th century BCE. Since Jupiter is the fourth brightest object in the night sky, it has always been observed by mankind.
Generally the brightest objects seen in the sky are the moon, some planets, (notably Venus and Jupiter) and stars, Sirius being the brightest.
