Because it is closer to the sun and it is the hottest planet
Yes, but only for a short time after sunset or before sunrise. It would not be seen throughout the night, because it is close to the sun. You would not see it every night, only on rare occasions, because it is so close to the sun.
Mercury and Venus are visible to naked eye or small telescope observation at these times but are also visible in transit of the sun (as they go across the disc of the sun). This means that no planets are only visible at sunrise or sunset.

Why would it be hard to discover a planet that is closer to the sun than mercury
ya... its basicly a rock
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.

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.
Jupiter & Venus. Mercury is visible after sunset, but difficult to see. Uranus is visible, but hard to see without telescope/binoculars, Neptune is visible, but only through a telescope. _________________________ The "now" part of the question isn't all that useful; questions on WikiAnswers remain online for years. This question was originally posted on December 7, 2008. As of today's date, February 3, 2013, only Jupiter and Saturn are visible. Mercury, Mars and Venus are all too close to the Sun to be visible.

It was a great invention because it enabled you to look up at the sky without needing to turn your head to an hard and hurtful position.
no it does not because mercury is not hard

They'll conduct heat They'll cionduct electricity (delocalised electrons) Are solid at rooom temp (except mercury [Hg]) Are hard/strong Usually malleable Usually ductile
Mercury is between the earth and the sun, so it is hard to find when you are looking into the sun, which is so bright.
