No, you can't ever see a crescent Mars from Earth. Because Mars is farther from the sun than Earth is, there is no point at which less than half of Mars' illuminated size is facing Earth. In other words Mars will always appear as "full" or "gibbous."

If you lived on mars which planets would never be visible as crescent phases?

To see a crescent on a planet, most of the surface that is facing you must be dark. For this to happen the planet must be between the sun and you. Planets that are further away from the sun therefore will never have a crescent phase when viewed from Mars.

Does Mars go through phases similar to the moon?

Only partly. We never see Mars in a crescent or new phase, just the full and gibbous phases. That's because Mars is farther away from the Sun than the Earth is, so we never see it "inside" our orbit. On the other hand, we see the crescent and gibbous phases of the planet Venus, but never the full or new phases, because when Venus would be "new", it's too close to the Sun to be observed - and when Venus would be "full", it's on the other side of the Sun, and not visible!

From the earth what id the brightest planets mercury or mars?

Mars. Mercury is small and very close to the Sun, which makes it difficult to see. You can only see Mercury either low in the east just before sunrise, or low in the west just after sunset. You are always seeing Mercury as a crescent. Mars, on the other hand, is frequently high in the sky late at night. Mars, like the Moon, has phases, but you can sometimes see it at "full Mars" when it is in conjunction. NEITHER. Venus is the brightest by far. Then Jupiter. You can even see several of the moons around Jupiter with some basic binoculars. Try it out! For locations consult www.skymaps.com - megaquark
