Mercury rising at 06:44 am and setting at 09:01 pm with a 40% of surface illuminated. Mercury would be orbiting the Sun at a distance of 0.45 astronomical units (AU) and would be found at a distance of 0.83 astronomical units (AU) from Earth. Given the planet elongation, the observer would see Mercury at an angle of 26° 01' 32.1" with the Sun. The brightness would be 0.52 this day, as measured by the planet magnitude.
Venus would rise at 05:17 am and set at 07:36 pm. 0% of Venus would be illuminated by the Sun. Venus distance from the Sun would be 0.73 astronomical units (AU) and its distance from the Earth 0.29 astronomical units (AU). The angular distance in the sky between Venus and the Sun would be 6° 26' 51.2".
Mars would look like 95% full, orbiting the Sun at a distance of 1.46 AU and be at 2.13 AU from Earth. The planet would be seen rising at 02:04 am and setting at 04:44 pm. The angular separation of the Sun and the planet, with Earth as the reference point, would be -37° 05' 10.4". The brightness of Mars, that is its magnitude, would be 1.32.
Saturn would rise at 06:33 pm and set at 03:56 am, appearing 99% full. The angular separation of Saturn from the Sun, as seen by the observer, would be 169° 01' 31.7", its magnitude 0.02. Saturn would orbit the Sun at a distance of 10.07 astronomical units (AU) and would be located at a distance of 9.07 astronomical units (AU) from Earth.
