<p>Yes. Simply paste your bitcoin adress into a block explorer such as <a href="http://blockchain.info" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://blockchain.info</a></p>

<p>For example, this adress has 200$ pending -> <a href="https://blockchain.info/address/1Lx4aebbGAUA2ASuYBoiAC2akutzpZQMzb" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://blockchain.info/address/1Lx4aebbGAUA2ASuYBoiAC2akutzpZQMzb</a> Or, 0.025631 BTC</p>

<p>You can also add a watch-only adress in bitcoin-core / electrum to keep track of balances from certain adresses.</p>

<p>A typical bitcoin wallet consists of many different individual addresses, and does not have a unique ID that can be queried.</p>

<p>So while it is quite easy to learn how much BTC any single address has, learning how much BTC an individual user has, with any certainty, is extremely difficult.</p>

<p>If you want to know your own balance, your wallet-software should tell you that quite easily.<br>
If you want to learn the balance of another user, that is difficult.</p>
