Listening 3: Planet Parade

They form a perfectly straight line in the sky

They appear near the Sun in the evening sky

They are all visible without any instruments

They spread across both sides of the Sun

Rare and unusual

Hazardous for amateur astronomers

Normal and recurring events

Only visible through a telescope

Every year

Every few years

Once in a decade

Every few months

Venus, Mars, Jupiter

Saturn, Mercury, Neptune

Uranus, Neptune, Venus

Mercury, Mars, Saturn

They are blocked by other planets

They are hidden by clouds all month

They are faint and near the horizon

They have moved to the daytime sky

Venus and Mars

Uranus and Neptune

Jupiter and Saturn

Mercury and Venus

It is too near the Sun's glare

It has disappeared behind Uranus

It is in the daytime sky

It is too small to notice

During daylight

After the sun sets

Early morning before sunrise

Only during a lunar eclipse
