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.
What else can I help you with?
Can you see planets other than Mars Venus and Jupiter from Earth?
Yes, you can see planets like Mercury and Saturn from Earth as well. In fact, all the planets in our solar system (except for Uranus and Neptune) are visible to the naked eye at certain times of the year. With the help of a telescope, you can also see Uranus and Neptune.
Why are planets seen in different locations at different times?
Because the planets are closer to us so when we look at the planets we can see them move so the closer an object is to you the easier it is to follow its motion. Hope you could use my answer
Is there any time of the year when all the planets are in line with each other?
No, usually the planets are in different directions. Every few years two or three of them line up.
Why can't you see some planets at night?
because soem planets are to far away and our eyes cant see that far
Which planet has shorter travel time saturn or mercury?
Planets orbiting closer to their sun tend to move a lot faster then planets further out. This case is no exception Mercury has a year of 88 Earth Days, and Saturn has a year of 10,832 Earth days.
How many planets can you see from NY state?
All of them, it just depends on the time of year and the level of light pollution where you are. ================== With only your eyes, you can see six planets. You need a telescope to see the others. Also, it depends on where each planet is in its orbit, not on the time of year.

Why do you see planets in the night sky?
Every time they are there .We can see a body if light falls on it or it emits lights.So planets are seen at night, but at day time their intensity of light become very less than the Sun ,so they disappears.However when the moon eclipse the sun totally we can see them.
How technology is used to observe distant objects in the sky?
to see what the planets look like. and to see what they would do over time.
Are all constellations visible all the time?
No. As we orbit the Sun different constellations become visible, but we can only see them when it is dark. Constellations are in the sky during daylight, but the Sun is so bright, we cannot see them. A few months after that, they start to be visible in the evenings and soon at night, by which time other constellations are in daylight and cannot be seen. You will see any constellation at the same time of year, every year. So the constellations you see in the night sky tonight are the same as the ones you will see on this date in any other year. The only thing that will differ is where the Moon and planets are.
