- Venus is often bright enough to see during the daytime, but you have to know

exactly where to look.

- Mercury, Venus, and sometimes Mars, can be seen during twilight at sunrise and sunset,

when the sun is below the horizon but much of the sky is blue.

- Earth is visible at any time of the day or night.

Why do you see planets just after sunset and just before sunset?

The two planets that are between Earth and the sun are Mercury and Venus. Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun. Venus is the second closest planet to the Sun. These two planets can only be seen when the observer on earth is facing towards them. That occurs only during the early morning twilight, the entire day, and the early evening twilight. During the night, and observer is facing away from the two planets. During the day, it is difficult, but not impossible, to see either Mercury or Venus due to the glare of the sun. The remaining planets have an orbit that places them farther out from the sun than earth. They can be seen only when it is night, or early twilight. The three outer planets that are easiest to see with the naked eye at night are Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn.
