What planets are seen in phases like the moon?
Both Mercury and Venus, being closer to the sun than us, will show phases. When Venus is at is brightest it is generally just a bit over half full. If you were on Mars, you would note phases on earth.
What are the main reasons people see different phases of the moon?
People see different phases of the moon due to its position relative to the Earth and Sun. As the moon orbits the Earth, the amount of sunlight reflecting off its surface changes, creating the different phases we see from Earth. This phenomenon is known as lunar phases.
Why do you think we see phases of the moon?
As the moon travels around the Earth, different parts of it are lighted by the sun. We see various parts of the face that are being lit by the sun. Since the sun and shadow move around the moon, we see different parts of the moon face, or phases of the moon.
Why does the moon show different phases?
The moon orbits the earth, the only reason we can see the moon is because light is reflected off of it the moon only has phases because the earth is blocking some of the light from reaching it.
What are the earth phases from the moon?
Yes you would. Interestingly, the Earth would never rise or set - it would remain a prominent feature in the sky. Daylight on the Moon itself lasts roughly 2 weeks because of the rotational and orbital times of the Moon (both approximately 27.3 Earth days) and the Moon's orbital motion around the Sun.

Can you see other planets phases?
The easiest phases to see are those of Venus when it comes close to Earth as it overtakes us in its orbit. At that time it is very bright and the crescent phase can be seen in a small telescope.
Why are phases difficult to see on planets such as Jupiter and mars?
no
Can phases of Mercury be seen?
Yes, all of the planets in from the earth display phases when viewed form earth.
What changes of the moon do you see from Earth?
The phases of the moon as it orbits the earth
Why do planets have phases similar to lunar phases?
The planet Venus has phases similar to the moon's phases because of its orbit around the sun, inside the orbit of the Earth. Because of its particular orbit, an observer from the earth is?æable to see various phases.
Would you see phases of the earth from the moon?
Yes.
Why we see the different phases of the moon from earth?
The phases are caused by the angle that the sunlight strikes the moon.
Do objects other than the Moon show phases?
Yes. Specifically, such phases can be seen on Mercury and Venus. Mars and other planets that are further out are "almost-full", due to the fact that they are further away from the Sun. You could also see phases on asteroids, if they are in an appropriate position, and you use telescopes that are powerful enough.
Does anything else go through phases besides the moon?
Yes. Mercury and Venus have phases. We can't really observe phases for the outer planets, because we always see the bright side, since we are on the same side as the Sun. Any asteroid that gets near enough could also have phases.
Does everyone on Earth see the same phases of the moon on any given day?
yes, at sometime everyone on earth is seeing the same phase
What are the main reasons people see different phases of the moon?
People see different phases of the moon due to its position relative to the Earth and Sun. As the moon orbits the Earth, the amount of sunlight reflecting off its surface changes, creating the different phases we see from Earth. This phenomenon is known as lunar phases.
