The planets closer to the sun than we are (Mercury and Venus) show all the same phases that the Moon does. The planets that are farther away don't show all the phases, they are either full or pretty close to full. The reason is that to get a "new" phase, the planet or moon must be between the Earth and the Sun. Mercury and Venus can come between the Earth and the Sun and be in the "new" phase, but the outer planets can't.
Yes, it does. An observer on the earth side of the moon would notice the earth going through phases similar to the moon's, and the phases would take a lunar cycle to complete. However, when it is full moon to us, it would be 'new earth' to the lunar observer. When it is new moon for us, lunar observers would be treated to a full earth.
Yes, more or less. Planets and moons don't create their own light, they just reflect it from the sun. So a satellite ( better word than moon, actually ) will have the same phases, if it stays in the plane of the ecliptic.
The phases of Earth's Moon are a function of our perception since it orbits around use. The phases are the apparent changes in the light of the Sun being reflected back to us on Earth.
The view of any moon from any planet it is orbiting will show phases if there is enough sunlight to produce light and dark areas on the surface.
Yes!!!
Mercury and Venus shown similar phases to the Moon. We do not seen the Full phase because these planets behind the Sun. However, we do see the 'New' phase as the plant often passes in front of the Sun .
Yes, because they revolve around their planet and reflect light back to the planet in different amounts as they revolve
Yes. The moon does not give off its own light but rather reflects light from the sun. All planets and moons reflect sunlight.
The planet of other solar system has six moons.

Saturn is the planet that has visible rings and lots of moons. There are a few other planets.
Saturn has more moons than any other planet in our solar system.
No planet has 19 moons as of June 2014. Earth has one moon and Mars has two. Mercury and Venus have no moons. The other planets all have more than 20 moons.

The planet of other solar system has six moons.
The biggest planet is Jupiter. It has the 4, large Galilean moons but also other smaller moons.
Uranus is the planet that has ten moons. The moons lie closer to the planet's surface than any other planet.
