It depends on where on the moon you are. If you are on the side of the moon facing Earth, yes. If you are on the side facing away, no. If you are on the Earth-facing side you can see Earth because there is nothing obstructing your view, and Earth is a good deal larger than the moon, which would make it a very prominent object in the sky. On the side facing away you cannot se Earth because the moon is blocking your view

If you stand on the moon can you see the other planets?
No Its Just Like When Your Standing On Earth And You Cant See The Planets. The moon is about in the same place as the earth, astronomically speaking. You can see the planets from the moon that are visible from earth. Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn are all visible. If you have good eyes and know where to look, Uranus is also a dim dot.
Why do you see moon?
We can see the moon because it reflects sunlight to Earth.
Can you see the Apollo moon landing sites from earth?
No you can not see the moon landing sites with your naked eye from earth.
If you can see a full moon at your position on earth what type of moon will you see if you go exactly the opposite side of the world on the same day?
Full moon. Earth spins much faster than the moon moves so we all see a full moon as Earth turns us to see it.
Why can you see the full moon only at night?
Because this is how the moon cycle works: MOON---EARTH---SUN=full moon EARTH---MOON---SUN=new moon. So, when you see the moon during the daytime, it's because its orbit is interfering with the Sun's. But during a full moon, when the moon is behind the Earth, it cannot interfere. See?
Where would you stand on the moon so that you wont see the earth?
you will stand on the other side of the moon
What stars can you see when you stand on the moon?
The same stars as you can see when you stand on the Earth, but more clearly.
When we stand on earth we see the moon upward and when we stand on moon we see the earth upward. Why is that so?
The human body is made to relate to gravity. When standing on a body of mass, whether it is the Earth or the Moon, we will automatically look up to the sky. Our internal balance and the brain make the association.
Why can you not stand on earth and see the far side of the moon?
The Moon is tidally locked to Earth; the Moon's "day" and the Moon's month are the same length. So the "near side" of the Moon always faces the Earth, and the "far side" always faces away from Earth.
How do the moon's phases depend on the relative position of the sun moon earth?
The moon absorbs the light of sun and reflect them. We may not see the full moon because the angle we are standing at is wrong. if we stand at he correct angle we will see the moon clearly
If you were standing on the moon where would the earth be?
The Moon has a synchronous rotation - every time it goes around the Earth, it rotates once around its own axis. If you stand on the side of the Moon that is directed towards Earth, you would always see the Earth in the sky - more or less in the same direction. There would be slight changes, though, due to the elliptical orbit of the Moon, and the tilt of the Moon's axis. If you stand on the back side of the Moon - the side that is not visible from Earth - Earth would always be below the horizon for you.

Does the international space station see the earth's moon?
As it orbits the Earth there are times it can see the moon and there are times when it is on the opposite side of the Earth to the moon, so it can't see it.
What changes of the moon do you see from Earth?
The phases of the moon as it orbits the earth
What two movements cause the phases of the moon?
The only movement that really matters is the Moon orbiting the Earth. The Sun shines, and sunlight strikes the Moon. The light bounces OFF of the Moon in all directions. We stand here on Earth watching the Moon go around the Earth. Some of the reflected sunlight comes back to Earth. As the Moon goes around the Earth, we see that it is daytime on some parts of the Moon, and night on the rest.
When the earth is between the sun and moon what do we see?
We see a crescent moon.
Why do you see moon?
We can see the moon because it reflects sunlight to Earth.
