KARACHI:

Planets were visible for Karachittes on Tuesday with Venus great visibility, Mars and Jupiter prefect visibility, Saturn and Uranus average visibility, Mercury difficult to see and Neptune very difficult to see, as per SUPARCO.

The alignment, commonly referred to as a "planetary parade," will be visible to the naked eye for Mars, Venus, Jupiter, and Saturn, while Uranus and Neptune require a telescope for observation. The best viewing time is just after sunset, with the event lasting until the last week of February.

By late February, Mercury will briefly join the alignment, making seven planets visible from Earth.
