Mercury is usually hard to see without a telescope because it orbits close to the sun, which means it is only visible shortly after sunset or before sunrise when the sun's brightness doesn't drown it out. Additionally, its small size and proximity to the sun make it appear close to the horizon, where atmospheric distortion can make it harder to spot with the naked eye.
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.
No. You need a telescope to see Titan.
The first person to see Mercury with a telescope is believed to be Galileo Galilei in the early 17th century. He observed the phases of Mercury, similar to those of the Moon, which supported the heliocentric model of the solar system.
Yes, Saturn is readily visible to the naked eye. But you can't see the rings and moons without a telescope.
Yes, one can see Mercury even without a telescope.

well yes because you can see it from a tv
No. No. You need a telescope to see Neptune.Nope... Neptune cannot be seen from the Earth without a telescope.

It is hard to see the planet mercury because Mercury is far away, Also the sun reflects off Mercury to make it hard to see.
No. You need a telescope to see Titan.
The Hubble Space Telescope cannot see Mercury clearly because Mercury is too close to the Sun, making it difficult for Hubble to observe without damaging its instruments. Additionally, Mercury's small size and proximity to the bright glare of the Sun make it challenging to distinguish from the surrounding brightness.

Mercury is seen as a dim star without a telescope, although what it looks like is dependent on it's orbital position and the amount of light pollution in your area. Unfortunately, Mercury's close orbit with the Sun often causes the Sun to "hide" Mercury in a glare during sunrise and sunset and when it is visible to the naked eye, which is rare, it's very low to the horizon. However, if the Sun weren't so blindingly bright, you could see Mercury transit past the Sun as a black dot moving across the Sun but this is only visible with a solar telescope or a telescope with a solar filter.
Well, imagine Mercury as a tiny, elusive bird flitting too close to the bright sun so we can't see it clearly. Because this closest planet to the sun likes staying close to its fiery friend, it's hide-and-seek game with us results in Mercury being usually tough to spot without help from a kind telescope. But don't worry, even the smallest moments of it peeking through the depths of space can bring a big spark of joy to our hearts.
