What are the 5 most visible planets and when are they visible?

Answer:
Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn can easily be seen with the naked eye. Visibility changes from year to year; you may want to look up information about specific planets, for specific months and years. For example, at the time of this writing (Oct. 2009), Jupiter can be seen after sunset, as a spectacularly bright star, high in the sky. It will set a few hours later.
