Sometimes you can see them, and at other times you can't.
When you can see them, the reason is that there is nothing between the planet and your eye to obstruct the light from the planet.
When you can not see them, the reason is that there is something in the way, between the planet and your eye, which blocks the light so that it can't reach your eye. A cloud in the sky is an example of this effect ... you can't see planets on a cloudy night. Another object that could get in the way is the sun. If the planet is behind the sun, then you can't see it.
What else can I help you with?
Why you can see other planets and the moon?
You can see the other planets and the moon (at night), because like the Earth, they all reflect light from the Sun.
Are the sun and moon planets?
No, the sun and moon are not planets. The sun is a star that emits light and heat, while the moon is Earth's natural satellite. Planets are celestial bodies that orbit stars, like Earth does with the sun.
How many planets away is the moon from the earth?
The moon is Earth's closest neighbor in space and the only natural object to orbit it. Counting it in "planets away from Earth" does not make any sense as the planets revolve around the sun, not Earth.
Can you see other planets when your on Mars?
Yes, other planets would be visible from Mars just like they are from Earth. Mars has a similar night sky to Earth, so you can see planets like Venus, Jupiter, and Saturn, as well as stars and our own moon.
Is the moon or sun a star or planets?
The Moon is a natural satellite and the Sun is a star. The Moon is not a star. Neither the Moon nor the Sun are planets.
Why is it possible for us to see the planets?
Sunlight hitting the planets' surface reflex back to earth. Just like you can see the moon shine at night
Why you can see other planets and the moon?
You can see the other planets and the moon (at night), because like the Earth, they all reflect light from the Sun.
Why do the planets appear shiny from space?
Other planets appear shiny from Earth for the same reason the moon does, we see the other planets' reflected sunlight.
If you stand on the moon can you see the other planets?
No Its Just Like When Your Standing On Earth And You Cant See The Planets. The moon is about in the same place as the earth, astronomically speaking. You can see the planets from the moon that are visible from earth. Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn are all visible. If you have good eyes and know where to look, Uranus is also a dim dot.
What are the planets on the moon?
None. The Earth's moon is not a planet and there are no planets "ON" any moon. Many planets in the solar system have several moons.
Can astronauts see other planets from the moon?
Yes. Since the moon occupies essentially the same place in the solar system as Earth does its sky offers pretty much the same view. In fact the moon's lack of an atmosphere likely means that you could see the planets even more clearly than you can from Earth.
How many earth planets fit into the moon?
The Moon is a lot smaller then the Earth.
How many planets away from the earth is the moon?
No planets away.
How do you see the moon and planets even though they don't produce light?
They reflect sunlight towards Earth.
Are the sun and moon planets?
No, the sun and moon are not planets. The sun is a star that emits light and heat, while the moon is Earth's natural satellite. Planets are celestial bodies that orbit stars, like Earth does with the sun.
What planet is the moon?
The Moon is a moon and the planets are planets, so it's impossible for a moon to be a planet. See related questions.
How many planets is the moon from the sun?
The moon orbits the Earth. Venus and Mercury are the planets that are closer to the Sun than the Earth is.
