How these times are calculated
Planet positions come from the mean Keplerian elements published by JPL/Solar System Dynamics, valid from 1800 to 2050, with errors from 15 arcseconds for Mercury to a few arcminutes for Saturn. Checked against JPL Horizons. The visibility test is deliberately conservative: a planet counts as visible only if it climbs above 10° at some point between the end and the start of civil twilight and sits more than 15° from the Sun. Nothing here models clouds, light pollution, hills or buildings on your horizon.
Highest point tonight ≥ 10° · Angular distance from the Sun ≥ 15°
