You know how the moon rotates around the Earth, and has phases because of the suns rays hitting its crust? Its the same with Venus. You know that Venus revolves around the sun, right? But did you know that it also has phases? Its true. Anyway, Venus's phases are just like the moons. I don't know why Venus has phases, but I sure do know how.;)

What planet is seen as the same phrases like the moon?
There are none. The planet Venus is often seen in its gibbous and crescent phases, but never appears to be full; when it would be, Venus is hidden behind the Sun. And Venus only appears in the "new" phase twice per century, during the "transits of Venus". The planets Mars, Jupiter and Saturn appear in the gibbous and full phases, but never in the crescent or new phases.
