Which planet is visible from Earth with the naked eye?
(a) Jupiter
(b) Neptune
(c) Mars
(d) Venus
Venus is the easiest and brightest among the planets and can be seen without any telescope by merely gazing at the sky. It lives up to its nicknames ‘Morning Star’ and ‘Evening Star’ because of its dazzling brightness during early morning and late evenings.
As seen from Earth, five planets are visible to the naked eye. They are Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. They appear as steady and constant sources of light, not flickering like the stars. Among these five planets, Venus shines the brightest, followed by Jupiter. Mercury is the most difficult to spot as it is very close to the Sun.
