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 is a moonless period called?
If you are referring to lunar phases, there are two phases in which the moon is not visible to the earth. In the New Moon and Dark Moon lunar phases, the moon is not visible to those on earth. See related links for more information.
Compared to the size of the earth the Jovian planets are?
The Jovian planets are all much larger than Earth. See related link for a size comparison
Why do people want to explore other planets?
they want to see why other planets are differant from earth and want to learn and study other planets!
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
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
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.
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.
Why we see the different phases of the moon from earth?
The phases are caused by the angle that the sunlight strikes the moon.
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.
Do moons on other planet give light as earths moon?
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.
