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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The reason you can see planets and stars at night is that their light is faint and the brightness of the sun obscures them during the day. At night, when the sun is not visible, the fainter light from the planets and stars can more readily be seen.
because soem planets are to far away and our eyes cant see that far
We can see mars and other planets at night as it is very dark.
You can see all of them in the sky at night.
Sunlight hitting the planets' surface reflex back to earth. Just like you can see the moon shine at night
Because the sun shines on them and illuminates them, exactly the way you shine a flashlight on a rock in order to see it at night.
Jupiter's many moons
why astronomers can see stars and planets at night
Every time they are there .We can see a body if light falls on it or it emits lights.So planets are seen at night, but at day time their intensity of light become very less than the Sun ,so they disappears.However when the moon eclipse the sun totally we can see them.
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.
Light from the Sun reflects off of its surface. This also applies to why you cans see all the planets and their moons as well.
