Jupiter does not show obvious phases, unlike the Moon, Venus and Mercury. Those phases are caused by the changing angles as the body and the Earth proceed through their orbits, so that the angle at which we see their day sides changes. Jupiter is too far away for the difference in angle of observation to make an appreciable difference.

Which major type of planet is most evolved jovian or terrestrial?
The Jovian planets are a more evolved type of planet. Since they are farther from the Sun, they are less affected by the Sun and undergo less change.
Do all the planets have smaller planets orbiting them?
No. Planets orbit suns, while moons orbit planets. Planets do not orbit planets.
How many types of planets are in space?
There are 7 main classification of Planets. They are classified into the following groups; * Inferior Planets * Superior Planets * Inner Planets * Outer Planets * Terrestial Planets, * Jovian Planets * Gas Giants
Are inner planets known as Terrestrial planets?
Yes because they are rocky planets and the outer planets are known as the gas planets.
Inner planets compared to outer planets?
Inner Planets: Are rocky planets and smallOuter Planets: Are gas giants and giant
What planet Undergo transits as viewed from earth?
the two planets that can be viewed from earth are Mercury and venus.
What can you expect to detect from transits of Giant planets in one year orbits?
about 135 inner-orbit
How can you find about your planetary transits?
Planetary transits are the motion of the planet through the zodiac in respect to your birth chart's Rashi (Moon-sign). The planets influence your life in specific ways as they travel through the signs.
Why can't hubble be used to detect extrasolar planets?
It actually can and is used to detect extrasolar planets, mostly through watching their transits, where they move in front of the star and block some of its light.
How does the Kepler mission plan to detect Earthlike planets around other stars?
by observing the slight dip in brightness of the central star as the planet transits
How do you know that stars have planets?
In a very few recent cases we have directly observed the planets. Most exoplanets (planets orbiting other stars) are detected through periodic wobbles in the light of the star as the planet makes its way around. That may change this month with the launch of the Kepler satellite later today. The third way to detect planets is by their transits. If the distant planet crosses in front of the star and us, the star light dims in a characteristic manner. Kepler will observe thousands and thousands of stars for transits.
Meaning of transits?
The official definition of the word transits is "the carrying of people, goods, or materials from one place to another."
Why don't planets cause a solar or normal eclipse?
The inner planets, Mercury and Venus, are too small and too far away to block more than a tiny part of the Sun (less than 1%). So even when they are aligned with the Sun (which is veryrarely), they are practically invisible to the naked eye.Transit of Venus 2012Both Mercury and Venus make "transits" across the Sun, as seen from the Earth, at very long intervals. Mercury's transits are nearly invisible because of the distance from Earth, but happen about 13 or 14 times every 100 years. The next will occur in 2016. Venus is closer to the Earth and makes a shadow about 1/30th of the Sun's diameter. But because of the inclinations of the planets' orbits, transits of Venus only occur every 105 or 121 years, as pairs of transits 8 years apart. The transit following 2004 will be on June 6, 2012 and it will not occur again until the years 2117 and 2125. In 2012, the best visibility will be in the mid-Pacific and in Australia.As viewed from an outer planet, eclipses by inner planets are very rare. The transit of Jupiter as seen from Saturn would be the most noticeable, about the same as Venus from Earth. But the transits can be more than 2400 Earth years apart.
Did planets have evolution?
Planets form, and they undergo changes as they age. This process of change might be termed 'geological evolution', but this should not be confused with biological evolution, which is an entirely different kind of process.
What are the release dates for Transits - 2014?
Transits - 2014 was released on: USA: 7 February 2014 (Boston Science Fiction Film Festival) (premiere)
Why are Venus transits so rare?
Transits of Venus are so rare as Venus and the Earth orbit on different planes. This means that the chance that the two orbits are similar enough to create a Venus transit is very low.
What is underwent (to) undergo?
of Undergo, imp. of Undergo.
