What planets do you need a telescope to see?

Answer 1

Technically, you can see every planet right up to Pluto (Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune). The last two are of course much tougher to find, since they aren't visible to the naked eye. The other 5 planets can be seen with the eye, so you will obviously be able to see them magnified slightly. If you bought a decently cheap telescope, you SHOULD be able to see Jupiter's Satellite system (the Gallilean moons) and Saturn's rings. Mars is pretty boring in tiny telescopes, and Venus displays some detail.

Answer 2

There isn't a single planet that can be seen clearly without a telescope. It is possible to see most planets, but they will look like stars to the naked eye.

Answer:
Excluding the Earth, the naked eye planets in this solar system are Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. It s claimed that careful observation will let you see Neptune. All the naked eye planets are visible as distinct disks rather than twinkling points of light like stars. None oft the extrasolar planets are visible to the naked eye.

Answer 3

You typically need a telescope to see the outer planets of our solar system, such as Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. These planets are much farther away from Earth than the inner planets like Mercury, Venus, Mars, and the Moon, so they appear small and faint to the naked eye. Telescopes help magnify and clarify the view of these distant planets.

Answer 4

Using a simple telescope that you can buy from Walmart, Toysrus, Target, and dozens of other stores. You can see the planets Mars, Venus, Jupiter (likely), and Saturn (possibly).

Answer 5

You can even with quite a low cost one. You can see the rings of Saturn, moons And patterns of Jupiter - maybe some detail on mars with a slightly more decent telescope.
