about 749336 km, which is about 94.9% farther than the moon
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."
No, you cannot see Mars passing in front of the Sun from Jupiter. The distance between the two planets is vast, and any transit of Mars across the Sun would only be observable from Earth, where Mars and the Sun appear closely aligned from our perspective. From Jupiter, Mars would appear much smaller and farther away, making such an event undetectable.

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.
If you lived on Mars, the planets that would exhibit retrograde loops when viewed from Mars would be Earth and Venus. This is because the retrograde motion of a planet is an optical illusion observed when Earth passes by another planet in its orbit, causing the other planet to appear to move backward in the sky relative to the background stars.
No. That's the "Mars Hoax" that Mars will be close to Earth and appear "as bigas the full moon!". Not even close to being true.

When Mars is in retrograde motion, it does not affect its brightness. Mars will continue to appear at its usual brightness in the night sky regardless of its retrograde motion. Retrograde motion refers to how the planet appears to move in the sky, not its actual brightness.

No. The Sun would appear to be about 40% smaller from Mars, because Mars is about 40% further away from the Sun than Earth is.
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.
to live on Mars you would need Oxogen, water, food, and lots of sun tanning lotion because Mars is very hot!
Yes. On August 27, 2009, Mars will be a tiny red dot in the sky which will rise about 2 hours before sunrise, and be visible about 40 degrees above the eastern horizon at dawn.If you're reading that "Mars will appear as big as the full moon!"... well, that was a hoax that gets sent out every year about this time, but it is not true. Mars will NEVER appear as big as the full Moon; Mars is 35 million miles away at the closest, and right now is closer to 120 million miles away.

You would need a rocket ship in order to travel to Mars. You would also need a space suit and an oxygen tank.
Yes, there would be shadows on Mars at noon. The intensity and length of the shadows would depend on the angle of the sunlight hitting the surface. Mars has a thin atmosphere, so shadows may appear sharper and darker compared to Earth.
