However, not all six planets will be visible to the naked eye. Mars, Saturn and Jupiter should be relatively easy to spot without any equipment, while Mercury may be difficult to observe because it will appear very close to the horizon.
Uranus and Neptune will require a telescope or binoculars as they are too faint to be clearly seen with the unaided eye.
Experts have clarified that the planets appearing in a line does not mean they are physically arranged in a straight line in space. The apparent alignment is the result of the viewing angle from Earth as the planets follow their respective orbits around the Sun.
Skywatchers have been advised to choose an open location with a clear view of the eastern horizon and to observe the sky before sunrise.
The planetary alignment is expected to provide a striking view for those interested in astronomy, although visibility may vary depending on weather conditions, light pollution and the exact location of the observer.
