* Mercury: It's tricky, often lost in the sun's glare, but sometimes visible low on the horizon shortly after sunset or before sunrise.
* Venus: The brightest planet, often mistaken for a star.
* Mars: Appears reddish and can be quite bright.
* Jupiter: A very bright planet, often second only to Venus in brightness.
* Saturn: A bit fainter than Jupiter, but still easily visible.
It's worth noting that:
* Uranus and Neptune are technically visible under ideal conditions, but extremely faint and require very dark skies to spot.
* The Moon, while not a planet, is also easily visible without any assistance.
To help you identify planets in the sky, you can use a stargazing app or website like Stellarium (free and available for desktop and mobile). These tools will show you the position of planets and constellations in real-time.
