Any planet whose moons orbit close to the plane of the ecliptic can experience a lunar eclipse. Jupiter, for example, frequently eclipses its moons. We can even see that from here; some of the Jovian moons do sometimes "disappear" as they orbit into Jupiter's enormous shadow.

∙ 13y agoPlanets that have moons can have lunar eclipses. However we are extremely lucky that the apparent size of the moon is the same as the apparent size of the sun. Therefore our solar eclipses are more spectacular than the solar eclipses on other planets. certainly on the Mars neither moon would be large enough to hide the whole sun. Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune have no surface you could stand on to see an eclipse. Uranus has no moons that can be in the right position. Pluto's moon is (probably) far larger than the apparent size of the sun. Venus and Mercury do not have moons.

However with a solar eclipse, the only people who can see totality are those directly under path traced by the full (umbral) shadow of the moon - which is only about 100 miles across.

No. The planets orbit the sun.
What objects do not emit light on their own?
planets, moon,etc do not emit light on their own.
Does the moon rotate around the planets?
Yes. Each moon revolves around its own planet. Our Moon revolves around Earth.
What other planets have there own planets?
Planets do not have planets of their own. If a large rock is orbiting a planet, it is called a moon.
Do the moon moon planets or asteroids lie far beyond the milky way?
No. The moon and the planets and asteroids of our solar system are all in our galaxy and only form a tiny part of it. However, there are doubtless other solar systems in galaxies other than out own, each with its own set of planets, moons, and asteroids.
How many planets does Earth have?
Earth has no planets of its own. It is one and has one moon.
Why doesn't the sun have its own moon?
It does - they are called planets!!!
Is the moon part of the eight planets of our solar system?
No, the moon is not a planet. It is a moon. However, it is part of our solar system, as are all the moons of all the planets.
How planets and moon are alike and different?
They are different because all of the planets are bigger than the moon
Do all planets orbit the moon?
No. The planets orbit the sun.
What objects do not emit light on their own?
planets, moon,etc do not emit light on their own.
What two planets are larger than the moon?
Actually all the current planets are larger than our moon.
Do all planets has moon?
No, they don't. But most of our planets that orbit the sun do.
What makes a star different from the moon?
a star emits its own light. the moon just reflects, it like the planets, it has no light of its own
What planets has at least 1 moon?
All of the planets in the Solar System except for Mercury and Venus have at least one moon.
