Can Uranus be seen on a clear night without a telescope?

Answer 1

the planets in order closest to sun to furthest to sun.....

-Mercury

-venus

-earth

-mars

-jupiter

-saturn

-uranus

-pluto (this is classed aas a dwarf planet though, b/c it's so small)

Answer 2

For most observers, Venus is always close to the Sun, and therefore can only be observed near the horizon, where atmospheric distortion is the greatest.

The observation of its surface is impossible from Earth because of the dense clouds of sulfur dioxide and sulfuric acid that cover the entire planet. But orbiting robot probes have mapped its waterless surface using radar.

Answer 3

It can be seen through binoculars, ideally 7 x 50 type naval binoculars. It is currently in the constellation of Pisces for the next few years and can be seen in the autumn from most places after dark on a clear night. Opposition in 2013 will be October 3 when it will be south at midnight (ignoring DST), just south of the star Delta Piscis. To identify it an almanac is necessary, or look up its position on the net.

Answer 4

All the planets were discovered from people on the Earth. The first five were seen

in ancient times, Uranus was discovered in 1783 and Neptune in 1846. Without a

telescope you can see five, and Uranus can be seen in ideal conditions.

============================

Update:

You can now see seven planets without a telescope:

• Mercury
• Venus
• Earth
• Mars
• Jupiter
• Saturn
• Uranus (ideal conditions)

Answer 5

Yes, it is one of the brightest planets. Often local papers have the rise and set times published each day.

Answer 6

Don't do it- it can cause serious eye damage, but you can for a little while and probably have if you play Baseball during the day or drive a car and do not have sunglasses handy.

Answer 7

Yes, easily. The aurora borealis is often bright enough to read by, and sometimes bright enough to drive by.

Answer 8
