At the link below, I posted a photo I took this evening, March 17th,  
showing Jupiter and Mercury among the evening clouds after sunset,   
about 8:18 p.m.     Mercury is the higher planet (its light took  
about 8.6 minutes to reach Earth = about 1 A.U.). Jupiter is nearest  
the Avonport horizon  (its light took 49 min to reach Earth = about 6  
Astronomical Units)   Earth to Sun = 1 A.U.
