How to distinguish Venus, Jupiter, Saturn and Mars?
1. Mercury can only appear near the sun forever, or before sunrise in the morning 1 hour, or after sunset 1 hour. So if you see a star with a high horizon, it's not mercury.
Venus is the brightest one, but it will not appear in the east at sunset or in the west before sunrise. It is easy to be confused with Jupiter, because Jupiter is brighter when it rushes.
Mars is orange-red, and its brightness is generally lower than Jupiter. When running, the brightness is high, but it will also appear red.
Jupiter is bright, emitting blue light and sometimes golden light. With 50 binoculars, you can see that there are four small satellites beside you, which is easy to identify.
Saturn has yellow light and low brightness. Mars, Jupiter and Saturn will appear at the zenith, anywhere near the ecliptic on the horizon.
