- 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.
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.
Generally the brightest objects seen in the sky are the moon, some planets, (notably Venus and Jupiter) and stars, Sirius being the brightest.
According to science you may see mars at sunset and venus but it depends where the earth is rotating at. also you can or might see jupiter and see the storm
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.
In December, visible planets include Venus shining brightly in the western sky after sunset and Jupiter and Saturn low in the eastern sky in the early morning hours. Mars can also be seen high in the southern sky after sunset. Mercury may be visible very briefly low in the southwestern sky just after sunset.
During a sunset, vibrant colors such as red, orange, pink, and purple can be seen in the sky.
The most vibrant and captivating colors that can be seen during a sunset are typically shades of red, orange, pink, and purple.

During a beautiful sunset, you may see colors like orange, pink, purple, red, and yellow in the sky.
Most heavenly bodies disappear during the day because of sunlight and they change their positions all of the time. However, the sun itself is often regarded as a heavenly body and is obviously seen during the day. The moon can often be seen in daylight too. Even some planets can at times be seen before it has got really dark, particularly Venus, which is often seen just after sunset or before sunrise.

Both full moon and new moon can be seen at the sunset. But full moon in the east and new moon in the west just after the full sunset.
The order of colors typically seen in a sunset are red, orange, yellow, and sometimes pink or purple.
Planets and moons can be seen because of the light that shines off of them in space.
With the naked eye, on Dec 1 2008: Venus and Jupiter are seeable for several hours after sunset. Venus is the brighter and lower of the 2. Although Jupiter is more than 50x larger than Venus it's a lot farther away.
