What planets do not have lunar phases?
Planets do not have lunar phases because lunar phases are specific to our Moon. However, planets with moons of their own can have similar phenomena called satellite phases, where the appearance of the moon changes as it orbits the planet. Some example of these planets are Jupiter and Saturn, which have many moons.
What are the 5 most visible planets and which ones can appear in phases similar to lunar phases and which ones can not?
-- The six planets visible to the unaided eye are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. -- The Earth displays no phases at all. -- All of the remaining five can display gibbous and nearly 'quarter' phases. -- Only Mercury and Venus can display crescent phases.
What is lunar week?
iiWHAT IT MEANS!! A lunar week is when the whole week has every single phase of the moon.If there is lunar phases every single day of the year then there is a lunar year.If there is only for a month then it is called a lunar month.A lunar cycle are called to the phases of the moon.
What is the only lunar phases in which a lunar eclipse can occus?
Lunar eclipses can only occur at the full moon.
Are lunar phases related to lunar eclipses?
Lunar phases are tightly related to both kinds of eclipse: -- A lunar eclipse can occur only at the time of Full Moon. -- A solar eclipse can occur only at the time of New Moon.

How are moon phases associated with solar and lunar eclipses?
Moon phases and lunar eclipses both deal with the earth. They are deal with both the sun and the earth.
What are the different shapes of the moon seem from earth called?
The Moon's Phases (or Lunar Phases).
List the names of the five most visible planets Explain which ones can appear in phases similar to lunar phases and which ones cannot and explain why?
There are five planets visible to the naked eye; Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. However, Mercury and Venus are interior planets (closer to the Sun that we are) and are never seen in the "full" phase. Mars, Jupiter and Saturn are never seen in the "new" phase, because they never pass between Earth and the Sun. Note: This is requirement 5.1 for the Astronomy merit badge.
