The planets in our solar system are not always visible to an observer on Earth, for various reasons. Daylight reduces the visibility of planets significantly. Mercury and Venus, since they are inside the orbit of Earth (closer to the Sun), could only be seen in favorable conditions near sunset or sunrise and not in the middle of the night (or similar difficulties in solar transit, or other planets in opposition, close to the line of sight to the Sun). They would not be visible if occluded by a celestial body (or specifically if they are below the horizon). Neptune, being too distant, can't be resolved with the naked eye; exoplanets require sophisticated equipment to resolve.

Are planets visible or inside solar system?

When will the five most visible planets be seen?
The five most visible planets (Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn) can often be seen at different times of the year depending on their positions in their orbits. However, there are times when some or all of these planets are visible together in the predawn or post sunset sky.

Why are some planets only visible in the morning?
There is no planet that's always only visible in the morning. The part of the day during which each planet is visible changes, as both the Earth and the planet revolve around the sun.
The moon and visible planets are always within a few degrees of the ecliptic?
Yes, the moon and visible planets in our solar system are typically within a few degrees of the ecliptic, which is the plane of Earth's orbit around the sun. This is because they all orbit the sun in roughly the same plane, so they appear to move along the same path in the sky as seen from Earth.
Why are planets visible?
Planets are visible in the night sky because they reflect sunlight. As they do not emit their own light like stars do, they rely on the Sun's light to make them visible to us here on Earth. The brightness and position of planets change as they orbit the Sun, making them observable at different times throughout the year.
