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.
What objects do you see in the night time sky?
the moon, stars, planets, sometimes shooting stars and yea that's about it
Which two planets are not seen in the sky at night and why?
Mercur. It has an orbit that is closer to the Sun, meaning that we'd only see them when the Sun is either up or rising... in other words, not at night.
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.
Can planets be seen on a clear night with the naked eye?
The planets visible to the naked eye, from the brightest to the less bright are Venus, Jupiter, Mars, Saturn, Mercury.
Why can you see planets and stars on a night?
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.
Why can't you see some planets at night?
because soem planets are to far away and our eyes cant see that far
When are you able to see Mars?
We can see mars and other planets at night as it is very dark.
How are stars moon and planets alike?
You can see all of them in the sky at night.
Why is it possible for us to see the planets?
Sunlight hitting the planets' surface reflex back to earth. Just like you can see the moon shine at night
Why can you see the planets and your moon in the night sky?
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.
What planets might you see high overhead at night from Jupiter?
Jupiter's many moons
Why onions start growing in vegetable box?
why astronomers can see stars and planets at night
Why do you see planets in the night sky?
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.
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 you can see other planets and the moon?
You can see the other planets and the moon (at night), because like the Earth, they all reflect light from the Sun.
What time of year can you see planets?
There are generally a couple of planets visible every night of the year. Which planets will be visible and when depends on where each of the planets (and the Earth itself) are in their orbits. Here on August 28, 2009, for example, Jupiter rises about sunset and is brightly visible all night. Venus and Mars rise before dawn. Saturn and Mercury are not visible this month, because they are too close to the Sun to be seen.
