Why can a planet show no rise or set?

Near the poles (or for circumpolar objects) a body may stay above or below the horizon all day. Those cases are marked as visible or below accordingly.

How often does this update?

Visibility refreshes about once a minute using your selected city’s timezone and your time-format preference.

Tip: The best time to observe planets is around their transit time (when they're highest in the sky). Planets below the horizon are not visible. Switch cities to check visibility from any location worldwide.
