Do any of the stars you can see have planets around them?

Yes. To date scientists have discovered well over a thousand planets orbiting other stars. It is believe that a large portion of the stars in the night sky have planets.


How can we see planets?

The planets positions change all the time. Some of the planets are easier to see. When they are visible, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn can easily be seen with the naked eye, if you know where to look. The other planets need a set of binoculars or a telescope to see them. Check the site below to help you locate the planets. Currently Jupiter can be seen for a while after sunset, as a bright object low and towards the south.


When can you see planets?

There are wide viewing opportunities to view Pluto, but those times vary depending on the viewer's location on earth. Additionally, a large telescope is required because Pluto is so far away, and it is so small that the light it reflects is insufficient to make it easily seen from earth.


What objects do you see in the night time sky?

In the night sky, you can see stars, planets, the Moon, constellations, and sometimes satellites or shooting stars. These objects appear as points of light against the dark backdrop of space and can be observed with the naked eye or with the help of telescopes or binoculars.


Do planets emit light or reflect light?

Planets do not emit their own light; instead, they reflect light from the Sun. This reflected sunlight allows us to see planets shining in the night sky. The amount of light reflected depends on the planet's surface composition and atmosphere.

If planets do not produce their own light how are we able to see mars and venus in the night?

The Sun reflects light from the surfaces of the planets and that way we are able to see them from Earth, hence why the further away the planets are, the more difficult it is to see them. Not impossible, but difficult.


Why can you see planets in the night sky even though they are not luminous?
