As I write this on August 25, 2012, Mars and Saturn are clearly visible just above the western horizon at sunset. Venus is the "Morning Star", and is the brightest thing in the sky in the eastern sky just before dawn. Jupiter rises about 1AM, and is visible until dawn.
Mercury is tougher; it's currently too close to the Sun to be visible and is headed to a "superior conjunction" when Mercury will be on the other side of the Sun from us in mid-September. It will remain too close to the Sun to be visible until the end of October. By Halloween, you should have a chance to see Mercury low in the western sky just after sunset.
This question was posted on July 18, 2013. The Earth and all the other planets each orbit the Sun in their own orbits, and our view from Earth will change day to day as the other planets race ahead or lag behind in their orbits. Venus, the brightest planet, is visible low on the western horizon at sunset as the "Evening Star". It will remain visible in the western sky at sunset until November, when it will get too close to the Sun to view. Saturn is high in the sky at sunset, and sets around midnight. Mars, Jupiter and Mercury all rise just before the Sun does, and may be visible low in the Eastern sky just before dawn. The Earth will be overtaking planets Mars and Jupiter, so they will be rising earlier and earlier each morning, and as the Earth passes them on the inside track of their orbits, they will be easily visible high in the evening sky by November.
Venus and Jupiter will be the only planets visible in the evening sky in November. During November the gap between the two planets will diminish until they are little over 2 degrees apart at the end of the month. Saturn will move a little higher into the morning sky, rising 3 hours before the Sun by November 30. Venus and Jupiter will be the only planets visible in the evening sky in November. During November the gap between the two planets will diminish until they are little over 2 degrees apart at the end of the month. Saturn will move a little higher into the morning sky, rising 3 hours before the Sun by November 30.
The Big Dipper is visible year-round in the Northern Hemisphere. During the spring, it is high in the sky in the evening. In the summer, it is low in the north around midnight. In the fall, it is visible in the early evening to the northwest. In the winter, it can be seen low in the north in the early evening.
Venus is the planet that is often visible in the western sky during the evening in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Venus is one of the brightest objects in the night sky and is commonly referred to as the "evening star" when it is visible in the west after sunset.
Yes, planets can be seen during a sunset, depending on their position relative to the sun and the horizon. Planets like Venus and Jupiter are often visible in the evening sky during sunset, appearing as bright points of light.

During the evening of January 29th, 2009, in Lynn, Massachusetts, you would have been able to see the planets Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Jupiter in the night sky. These planets would have been visible at different times after sunset, so it's best to check a stargazing app or website for specific viewing times and locations in the sky.

The constellation Lacerta is typically visible in the northern hemisphere during the months of September through December. It can be best seen in the evening sky during these months.
Canis Minor is typically visible in the evening sky during the winter and spring months in the Northern Hemisphere, and in the summer and autumn months in the Southern Hemisphere. It is best seen in the early evening hours.
The Sun is usually visible during the day. The moon is pretty unmissable on those days when both are in the sky. Venus and Jupiter are often visible during early morning and late evening, when the sky is a little darker.
The evening planet refers to Venus, which is often visible in the western sky shortly after sunset. It is the third brightest object in the sky after the Sun and the Moon, making it easily recognizable during the evening hours.
There is no planet that's always only visible in the morning. The part of the day during which each planet is visible changes, as both the Earth and the planet revolve around the sun.
