How do you see mars on earth?
To see Mars from Earth, you can look up at the night sky when Mars is visible. Mars is often visible to the naked eye as a bright red or orange-tinged object. You may need a telescope for a closer view of its surface features. Keep an eye out for Mars during its opposition, when it is closest to Earth in its orbit and appears brightest in the sky.
If you were on Mars can you see earth at midnight?
Yes, you can see Earth from Mars at midnight, just as we can see Mars from Earth. However, the visibility will depend on the relative positions of the planets in their orbits at that time. Earth will appear as a bright point of light in the night sky of Mars.
Can you ever see a crescent Mars?
No, you can't ever see a crescent Mars from Earth. Because Mars is farther from the sun than Earth is, there is no point at which less than half of Mars' illuminated size is facing Earth. In other words Mars will always appear as "full" or "gibbous."
Can you see the Milky Way from Mars?
Yes, it is possible to see the Milky Way from Mars. However, the view of the Milky Way from Mars may be different compared to Earth due to the thin atmosphere and lack of light pollution on Mars. Astronomers have even captured images of the Milky Way from Mars using rovers such as Curiosity.
Where is Mars when you can see it?
on august 26th 2010, mars is coming very close to earth--so you should be able to see it from your front lawn or out your window. Supposedly Mars will look as large as the moon from the sky.
Why is it easiest to see mars when it is closest to the earth?
Mars is brightest when it is closest to Earth due to its proximity and position in its orbit, making it easier to see in the night sky. This phenomenon occurs because the amount of sunlight reflecting off Mars is maximized when it is at its closest point to Earth.

Is Mars moving closer to earth August 2009?
On that date, the red planet will be nearly 250 million km away from Earth and completely absent from the evening sky. See related question for information about the Mars email hoax.
Why is it easiest to see mars when its closest to the earth?
Mars appears brighter and bigger in the sky when it is closest to Earth due to its position and proximity. This phenomenon, known as opposition, occurs roughly every 26 months when Mars and Earth align on the same side of the sun. This makes Mars appear larger and easier to observe from Earth.
Was mars ever close to earth before 2003?
Yes. Mars comes fairly close to Earth about every 26 months or so as the Earth passes Mars in its orbit. Some approaches are closer than others, due to the fact that both planets are in elliptical orbits. You can see a simulation of Mars and Earth in their orbits at http://www.windows.ucar.edu/tour/link=/mars/mars_orbit.html. When Mars is closer and Earth is farther away from the Sun, as in August 2003, they do get quite close. But they have had such close approaches every few hundred years since the planets formed 4+ billion years ago.

What can the Hubble telescope see?
You can see Earth, Mars, the Moon and galaxies!
Does the earth's moon look bigger or smaller from Mars?
Without a telescope you probably couldn't see earth's moon from Mars.
How can you see mars when it doesn't give out light?
You see Mars the same way you see the other planets such as Jupiter or Venus; the same way that you see ANYTHING. Light from the Sun shines on all the planets just as it does on Earth, and the reflected light from Mars comes back to your eye here on Earth.
Which planet is easiest to see from earth?
Venus can be the brightest planet. Jupiter is the next brightest and can be seen in the middle of the night when the sky is darkest. Venus (whos orbit is closer to the Sun than the Earth orbit) can never be seen at midnight.
Can you see mars from earth how was it discovered?
Yes. You can see Mars from Earth. It was discovered by primitive people who watched the night sky and notice that some of the objects, later called planets, did not move with the stars.
