Full. When Venus is full it is on the other side of the Sun, so Venusians would see the Earth also on the other side of the Sun and thus it would also appear "full".
Venus would never be visible as a crescent phase because it is an inner planet whose orbit is between Earth and the Sun. This means that Venus can never appear to us in crescent phase, as it would always show either a full or nearly full phase when viewed from Earth.
When you can see more than one phase of the moon at the same time, it's likely a waxing gibbous or waning gibbous phase. This occurs when the moon is more than half illuminated but not fully full or new.
That applies mainly to the inner planets: Mercury and Venus. Mars, being further from the Sun than Earth, can at most have a "three-quarter" phase, but you can't see it as a crescent, since that would require Mars to be basically between the Sun and Earth, which isn't possible. Saturn shows no phases.
The Ptolemaic system predicts that Venus goes through phases similar to the Moon, from crescent to full. This model was proposed by the ancient Greek astronomer Ptolemy and was used to explain the varying appearances of Venus in the sky as seen from Earth.
In the new Moon phase.
No, Venus in its full phase is not visible from Earth. When Venus is in its full phase, it is positioned on the opposite side of the Sun from Earth, which means it is lost in the Sun's glare and not visible to us.
Venus would never be visible as a crescent phase because it is an inner planet whose orbit is between Earth and the Sun. This means that Venus can never appear to us in crescent phase, as it would always show either a full or nearly full phase when viewed from Earth.
During the inferior conjunction phase of Venus, it is possible to see the planet partially eclipsed by the Sun. This occurs when Venus passes between the Earth and the Sun, appearing as a small silhouette against the solar disk. Viewing this event requires proper solar viewing equipment to avoid eye damage.
Galileo's observations of the gibbous phase of Venus proved that the Sun was the center of the Solar System, with the planets revolving around it. This disproved the prevailing theory of the time that the planets orbited around the Earth.
Venus is a solid planet.
Venus does not have months. Venus has a year that lasts about 225 earth days. The funny thing about Venus is that a day lasts much longer than a year, with a day on Venus being over 240 earth days.
When you can see more than one phase of the moon at the same time, it's likely a waxing gibbous or waning gibbous phase. This occurs when the moon is more than half illuminated but not fully full or new.
Yes but Venus' momentum keeps it (almost) in the same orbit year after year. Eventually either Venus will be pulled into the Sun or the Sun will expand (nothing to do with Venus gravity or orbit, just a phase of the Sun's development) and encompass Venus (and Mercury as well as Earth) obliterating the inner planets.
The planet Venus is _NEVER_ seen in the full phase, because it never gets anywhere near the Earth. Venus is in a closer orbit to the Sun than the Earth is, so when Venus is closest to the Earth, it's pretty close to being between the Earth and the Sun. In fact, Venus passes directly between the Earth and the Sun twice per century, most recently in 2004. We call this a "transit of Venus".So we only see Venus in its crescent phases.Think about it . . . In order to see the complete illuminated side of Venus,we'd have to be looking at it through the sun.
