Default Is it Jupiter visible in the sky with naked eyes?

It is very bright star that rises each day from east and crosses the sky to set in west. Traveling along Constellation Sagittarius. I live in Hyderabad Pakistan (25°22´45´´N 68°22´06´´E). I look at it with Naked Eyes.

More Importantly, with your other thread mentioning your bad eyesight, it's almost impossible for you to see Jupiter if you have bad eyesight, and no, I'm my opinion, I don't think Jupiter is visible through naked eye.

Jupiter is not only visible with the naked eye, it's the brightest object in the southeast sky right now. You can't possibly miss it. Last night it was hazy and cloudy, and there was only one object in the sky that was visible through the murk--Jupiter.

If your sky is clear and Jupiter is far from the sun it can be seen with the naked eye during the day. I once was watching a jet contrail drift across the sky at around 4 in the afternoon. It moved right across a bright star which turned out to be Jupiter.

Yep - I've seen Venus naked-eye in broad daylight too, can be even easier than Jupiter.
Around the time of greatest elongation, I have a few times tried to locate Venus as near to mid-day as I can - best so far has been 20 mins after mid-day.
Wish I'd tried this when I was younger, my eyesight was far sharper 20 yrs ago than it is now.
