ScienceFIA

How many planets are visible to us without using a telescope?

A
2
B
3
C
4
D
5
Explanation and memory cue

The five planets visible to the naked eye without a telescope are Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. These planets have been known since ancient times and can be seen as steady points of light that do not twinkle. Uranus is barely visible to the naked eye under very dark skies and excellent eyesight, but it is generally considered not visible without optical aid.
