You can never see the whole surface of any sphere. The most you can see, even theoretically, is exactly half (50%), but even that requires that you be infinitely far from it. How much of the earth you can see depends on how far you are from it. The farther you are, the more you can see. The limits are: -- None at all (zero%) from zero distance (when your eye is on the ground); -- Half of the surface (50%) from an infinite distance. From the position of a geosynchronous satellite ... in an orbit about 22,000 miles above the equator ... it can see (and be seen from) all of the earth's surface inside a circle with a radius of about 70 degrees, i.e. between latitudes 70 degrees north and south, and between longitudes 70 degrees east and west of the satellite's longitude.
No. You can not see Mercury from Earth!
No, they see night-time. You can see a lunar eclipse (from anywhere) when the MOON is in the earth's umbra.
Astronauts see the Earth from the Moon as a bright, colorful sphere in the distance. The Earth appears much larger than the Moon does from Earth and cannot be seen as a flat disc. The view offers a unique perspective of our planet hanging in the vastness of space.

Yes, you can see Earth from Mars at midnight, just as we can see Mars from Earth. However, the visibility will depend on the relative positions of the planets in their orbits at that time. Earth will appear as a bright point of light in the night sky of Mars.

The first satellite in space was the Russian Sputnik, launched in 1957.

From space but not earth.
Yes, astronauts can see the curvature of the Earth from space.
Earth revolves around the sun. That is why the constellations we see from Earth appear to change.
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.
The blueness you see on the Earth from space is the oceanic water.
