Most of the planets in the solar system are going to be very difficult, if not impossible, to view with a telescope bought for home use. Jupiter being one of, if not the number one, easiest planets to spot in the night sky. Mercury and Venus are problematic when trying to view from earth because of the fact that these two planets are very close to the sun in relevance to the earth. So attempting to view these two would have to be done at the right time of orbit for each respective planet and time of day, before the sun rises or after the sun has set. So that there is minimal light pollution coming from the sun itself. On the other end of the solar neighborhood is Pluto. Pluto is the smallest planet in the solar system measuring at approximately 1,422 miles in diameter, smaller than our own moon by just under 1,000 miles. Extremely low amounts of light reaches Pluto and is reflected back to earth. In short, Pluto would be the most difficult planet to see.

Side Note: Pluto has recently changed classification from a planet to a large Kuiper Belt object.
