![]() Sun | The sun rising at 07:18 am and setting at 04:36 pm. |
The same observer would also see the other Solar System Planets as follows:
![]() Mercury | Mercury rising at 07:49 am and setting at 04:50 pm with a 98% of surface illuminated. Mercury would be orbiting the Sun at a distance of 0.44 astronomical units (AU) and would be found at a distance of 1.41 astronomical units (AU) from Earth. Given the planet elongation, the observer would see Mercury at an angle of 5° 27' 09.9" with the Sun. The brightness would be -0.77 this day, as measured by the planet magnitude. |

![]() Venus | Venus would rise at 05:43 am and set at 03:08 pm. 93% of Venus would be illuminated by the Sun. Venus distance from the Sun would be 0.72 astronomical units (AU) and its distance from the Earth 1.55 astronomical units (AU). The angular distance in the sky between Venus and the Sun would be -21° 07' 11.4". |
---|
![]() Mars | Mars would look like 89% full, orbiting the Sun at a distance of 1.50 AU and be at 0.87 AU from Earth. The planet would be seen rising at 12:19 pm and setting at 01:41 am. The angular separation of the Sun and the planet, with Earth as the reference point, would be 108° 47' 12.2". The brightness of Mars, that is its magnitude, would be -0.32. |
---|
![]() Jupiter | Jupiter’s distance from the Sun would be 5.10 AU and 5.98 AU from Planet Earth. Jupiter rising and setting times would be 08:53 am and 06:31 pm respectively. Jupiter would appear with a 99% illuminated fraction of its surface and a magnitude (brightness of the star) of -1.81. Its angular separation between the Sun would be 24° 23' 53.1". |

![]() Uranus | Uranus would appear 99 full, its brightness being 5.72. It would be seen rising at 12:53 pm and setting at 02:35 am. Uranus would be 19.77 AU far from the Sun and 19.27 AU far from Planet Earth (average distance). The observer, looking up into the sky, would see Uranus with a 119° 48' 37.3" angle of separation from the Sun. |
---|
![]() Neptune | Neptune rising at 11:00 am, and setting at 10:30 pm, its magnitude (the degree of brightness of a star) being 7.91. The difference between the celestial longitude of the Sun and that of Neptune would be 71° 33' 09.7". At 29.93 AU distance from the Sun and at 30.22 AU from Earth, 99 % of Neptune would be illuminated by the Sun. |
---|
![]() Pluto | Pluto would be seen as 99% full and would have an elongation of 16° 27' 21.2". It would orbit the Sun at an average distance of 34.19 astronomical units (AU) and be located at an average distance of 35.13 astronomical units (AU) from Earth. The observer would see Pluto rising at 08:30 am and setting at 05:49 pm, its magnitude (brightness of the star) being 14.41. |
