Want this question answered?
The NASA web site has a table of phases of the Moon at http://www.usno.navy.mil/USNO/astronomical-applications/data-services/phases-moon It doesn't matter where YOU are for the phases of the Moon; this table is the same for everyone.
If you could somehow stand on Jupiter's surface and observe Ganymede (and any of the other moons,) then yes, they would exhibit the same phases as earth's moon.
The moon orbits the earth in just a little under 28 days. The earth is blocking sunlight from reaching the moon at certain angles which cause the phases of the moon. Everyone sees the same phases because of this.
The sun and the moon's gravity pull in the same direction .
Sunlight arrives with the same intensity on the Earth and on the moon. However, it affects the moon differently than the Earth because the Earth has an atmosphere and the moon doesn't. Hence, the moon gets hotter during the lunar day, and colder during the lunar night.
You can see the same amount of the moon during the first and last quarter, as well as during each half.
No - the moon itself stays the same shape. The phases of the moon change as the earth and moon orbit round the sun. The phases are simply the amount of sunlight reflected in relation to the position of the earth's shadow cast on the moon
No, we see the same side of the moon as it orbits and goes through phases because the moon rotates at the same rate it orbits.
The time from one phase of the moon until the next time the moon reaches the same phase is 29.5 days.
Yes. Unless the observer was on the back side of the moon, or on the opposite side of the earth from the moon, he/she could see the same phases that we see here on earth.
No, each one of the moon's phases appears on a different night.

No
No, 2013 does not have its moon phases on the same dates as 2005. The repeating calendar date for 2013 is actually 2002.
All of the Moon's lighted side is visible during the full moon.

I have the same question :/ Hope someone helps you.
