: Why are other planets and stars and all that colourful galaxy not visible in the sky the same way we see the moon and sun in our everyday mundane lives with naked eyes?
In: 0
If you’re including the planets of our solar system then they are very visible in the night sky. Venus, Jupiter and Mars are generally the 3rd-, 4th-, and 5th-brightest objects in the sky after only the sun and moon. Knowing where they are helps but you can often recognise them in the sky once you’re familiar with them. They follow a similar path to the sun and moon. Mercury and Saturn aren’t much harder to see.
If you know exactly where to look, you can even see Venus in the day.
