With a telescope, yes. You can't see it without a telescope though.
The distance to Ceres varies depending on the relative positions of Earth and Ceres in our orbits. As of April 25, 2010, at 3:07 PM PDT, Ceres is at a distance of 2.158218 AU, where each AU is about 500 light-seconds. (One AU is the average distance between the Sun and the Earth.) So Ceres is currently 1079 light-seconds away. The orbit of Ceres around the Sun is an ellipse with aphelion of 2.98 AU and perihelion of 2.55 AU. When the Earth is on one side of the Sun and Ceres is on the other, our distance apart is about 3.98 AU, and when Ceres and the Earth are closest together, we are only about 1.55 AU distant. You can download the free open-source planetarium program Stellarium to see a representation of the sky and calculate the distance to any astronomical object in its database. And if you can see it, it's in there!
Earth is significantly larger than Ceres. Earth has a diameter of about 12,742 kilometers, while Ceres has a diameter of about 940 kilometers. This makes Earth more than 13 times larger in diameter than Ceres.
A day on Ceres is about 9.1 hours long.9 and a half hours. After one sunrise, the Sun sets about five hours later.The dwarf planet 1 Ceres rotates around its axis in about 9.1 hours.
The story of Ceres and Proserpina in Roman mythology explains the changing of seasons. When Proserpina is with her mother Ceres, the earth flourishes in spring and summer. When Proserpina is in the underworld with Pluto, Ceres grieves and the earth experiences winter.
About 2.4 kg, the gravity on Ceres is 1/30th that of Earth
Earth has more gravity than Ceres does. Ceres gravity is 3% of that of Earth's.
It takes approximately 23 years to travel from Earth to Ceres.
Yes. Ceres orbits the same sun that Earth does.
Earth is significantly larger than Ceres. Earth has a diameter of about 12,742 kilometers, while Ceres has a diameter of about 940 kilometers. This makes Earth more than 13 times larger in diameter than Ceres.

No. Ceres has a stable orbit in the asteroid belt.
A day on Ceres is about 9.1 hours long.9 and a half hours. After one sunrise, the Sun sets about five hours later.The dwarf planet 1 Ceres rotates around its axis in about 9.1 hours.
The acceleration of gravity on the surface of the dwarf planet Ceres is listed as 0.27 m/s2. That's 2.75% of its value on Earth. If you weigh 200 pounds on Earth, then you would weigh 51/2 pounds on Ceres, not counting all the stuff you'd need to wear just to stay alive there.
Ceres measures the Earth's Radiance. The is measured in the North, South, East and West.
Ceres is about 1.765 Astronomical Units away from Earth, which is about 164,067,000 miles or 264,040,242 km.
Yes. Surface gravity on Ceres is about 3% that of Earth.
