During elongation of the Earth, as seen from Mars (that means when Earth appears farthest from the sun in the sky) the moon could be separated from the Earth by about 1/10th of a degree. For comparison that's about a fifth of the visible diameter of the moon from the Earth. Given the magnitudes stated above, the Earth's glare could make it very difficult to see the moon, though it might be possible.

Note, the above magnitude for the "full moon" is spurious because you would not usually see a full Earth moon from Mars...only when the pair are on the far side of the sun and at their minimum angular separation (about a 20th of a degree).

However, as the Earth swung toward inferior conjunction, passing between the sun and Mars, the separation of the Earth and moon could reach as much as a third of a degree...and that would likely allow one to see the moon.

Of course, the figures above are only when the moon itself is at its maximum visible separation from the Earth...which only happens twice a month.

So, the answer is that, most of the time, you would not be able to see the moon, but for a few days at a time (every two weeks), for a few months on either side of inferior conjunction, you would be able to.

Clear as mud?

The Earth is a plant and is situated with approximately 7 billion people. it has an iron inner core which acts as a magnetic field. the earth has one moon which is slowly moving away from the earth. The name Earth is half English and half German. the earths crust is made up of tectonic plates which float on top of the mantle. it rotates on it's slanted axis in 23.97 hours and takes 365.245 days to do a full orbit around the sun.
