The correct answer is (3) Neptune.
To determine which planet, other than Mars, can be seen from Earth at certain times of the year, we need to consider the characteristics and positions of the different planets in our solar system.
First, let's eliminate Juno as a possible answer. Juno is not a planet; it is an asteroid, specifically an asteroid that orbits in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Therefore, Juno cannot be seen as one of the five planets visible from Earth.
Now, let's consider the remaining options:
1. Uranus: Uranus is the seventh planet from the Sun and is visible from Earth with the naked eye under certain conditions. However, it may not always be visible to the naked eye, depending on its position in its orbit and its distance from Earth. Therefore, Uranus can be seen from Earth but not necessarily at all times of the year.
2. Saturn: Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun and is one of the most easily recognizable planets in our solar system. It is slightly more challenging to see with the naked eye than other bright planets like Mars and Venus, but it is visible from Earth with the naked eye during specific times of the year.
3. Neptune: Neptune is the eighth and farthest known planet from the Sun. It is more challenging to observe without the aid of a telescope, and it is typically not visible to the naked eye. Therefore, Neptune is not one of the five planets that can be seen from Earth, including Mars, at certain times of the year.
Based on the information above, the correct answer is Saturn. Consequently, the correct response is Saturn.
