you mean you seen Jupiter and not mars



man i wish i had your eye's to see mars in the day time near the sun lol

kids don't look near the sun or at the sun without special filter glasses to safe guard your eye's on when looking at the sun, other wise you most likely go blind no joke!!

cheap trick but it works on a clear day
you can do a special trick to see mars use a small mirror reflect the sun onto a white paper or tan in color to see the solar flares of the sun and planets near the sun. you can pull the mirror farther away from the paper to till it can be seen good.

better to see use a star telescope of some type, remove the eye piece on it so it shot out on a sheet of large paper on the ground, you can ether zoom in using the telescope or move the paper close or away from the telescope to enlarge the image to be focus in on to it.
