Why Can’t We See Other Planets From Earth?
Their visibility is determined by the interaction of light from the sun and the planets’ own shadows. Sometimes these planets become visible just after it begins getting dark. Other times, they can only be seen very late at night. When they get too close to the sun, they aren’t visible at all.
