No, they cannot. Only a little over 50% of the moon's surface can be observed from earth, and observations must be made over a period of about 15 years in order to observe the maximum amount of surface.

Why would you use telescopes to see planets?

Telescopes allow us to see planets in greater detail, revealing their features such as surface markings, moons, and rings. They also help astronomers study planetary atmospheres, temperatures, and compositions, providing valuable information about these celestial bodies. Telescopes enable us to observe planets from great distances and gather data that may not be possible with the naked eye.


Is Io one of mars moons?

No. Io is one of the four major moons of Jupiter. The moons of Mars are Phobos and Deimos.


What are the unique features of Saturn moons?

Saturn's moons are known for their diverse and unique characteristics. Titan, the largest, boasts a thick atmosphere and surface lakes of liquid methane and ethane. Enceladus has geysers that eject water vapor and organic compounds, suggesting a subsurface ocean. Other moons, like Mimas and Hyperion, exhibit striking surface features, such as Mimas' resemblance to the Death Star and Hyperion's irregular shape and sponge-like appearance.


What are 5 things that all moons have in common?

All moons are natural satellites that orbit around a planet, they lack an atmosphere, they reflect light from the sun, they have varying surface features such as craters and mountains, and they affect tidal patterns on their parent planet.


What important property of a planet do you learn by studying its moons?

By studying a planet's moons, you can learn about the planet's composition, mass, and possibly its history. The moons' orbits and sizes provide clues about the planet's gravitational pull and overall structure, while their surface features and composition can give insights into the planet's geology and environment.

Are there photos of Jupiter's moons?

Yes, there are numerous photos of Jupiter's moons taken by spacecraft like Voyager, Galileo, and Juno. These images provide valuable insights into the characteristics and features of the moons, such as Io's volcanic activity, Europa's icy surface, Ganymede's complex terrain, and Callisto's ancient cratered surface.


Why has the number of known moons changed?

It has changed because we have better telescopes and rocket probes to find them.

What planet has two moons and hot rocky surface?

MarsYou have listed three features of the planet; rocky surface, hot temperature, and 2 moons. While Mars is a terrestrial planet (has a rocky surface) and has 2 moons (Phobos and Deimos), you're wrong on the last feature, in which you have written that Mars has hot temperature conditions. This is wrong, because the temperature on Mars is usually well below zero.


What do surface features and their distribution on the moons surface tell you about its history?

Earth's shadow on the moon proved that earth wasn't flat. When galileo first turned his telescope to the moon, he found a surface scarred by craters and maria. Before that time, many people believed that all planetary bodies were "perfect" without surface features.
