- Mercury. Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun in our Solar System. Because it is so close to the Sun, it is only observable in the early morning, just before sunrise, or at dusk.
- Venus. After the Moon, Venus is the brightest natural object in the night sky. It is both the Earth’s closest neighbor in our Solar System and the planet most similar to Earth in size, gravity, and composition.
- Mars. Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun in our Solar System. While it’s not our nearest neighbor (Venus takes that honor), or the brightest planet in the night sky (also Venus), it is perhaps the planet that most inspires our imagination.
- Jupiter. Jupiter is usually the third brightest object in the night sky, after the Moon and Venus (only Mars, our next-door neighbor, is occasionally brighter), and summer is an especially good time to view this bright behemoth.
If you’ve ever spotted it, congratulations — you’ve found planet Venus! Venus appears just before dawn or just after sunset because it's between Earth and the Sun. It’s the second planet from the Sun while Earth is the third.
Sep 6, 2019 · If you're looking for Venus in the sky, the best time is just before sunrise or just after sunset. Venus is one of the inner planets, so it always appears near the sun, and is never visible at an elevation of more than 48 degrees. Venus isn't always visible. Sometimes it's too close to the sun.
