The amount of the lit side of the moon you can see is the same during the first quarter and last quarter moon phases. During both of these phases, half of the moon's visible surface is illuminated as seen from Earth. This results in a symmetrical appearance, with the right side lit during the first quarter and the left side lit during the last quarter.
The sun and the moon's gravity pull in the same direction .
The NASA web site has a table of phases of the Moon at http://www.usno.navy.mil/USNO/astronomical-applications/data-services/phases-moon It doesn't matter where YOU are for the phases of the Moon; this table is the same for everyone.
If you could somehow stand on Jupiter's surface and observe Ganymede (and any of the other moons,) then yes, they would exhibit the same phases as earth's moon.
No, we cannot see the same amount of the illuminated side of the Moon from Earth at all times. This is due to the Moon's synchronous rotation, where it takes the same amount of time to rotate on its axis as it does to orbit the Earth. As a result, we always see the same side, known as the "near side," while the "far side" remains hidden from view. However, the appearance of the illuminated portion changes with the lunar phases as the Moon orbits the Earth.
Sunlight arrives with the same intensity on the Earth and on the moon. However, it affects the moon differently than the Earth because the Earth has an atmosphere and the moon doesn't. Hence, the moon gets hotter during the lunar day, and colder during the lunar night.
The amount of lighted side of the moon you can see is the same during first quarter and third quarter phases. These phases occur when half of the moon's surface is illuminated, and they represent the halfway points between new moon and full moon phases.
The amount of the lighted side of the moon you can see is the same during the first quarter and the last quarter phases. In both phases, half of the moon's illuminated side is visible from Earth.
You can see the same amount of the moon during the first and last quarter, as well as during each half.
No, we see the same side of the moon as it orbits and goes through phases because the moon rotates at the same rate it orbits.
The time from one phase of the moon until the next time the moon reaches the same phase is 29.5 days.
The sun and the moon's gravity pull in the same direction .
No, each one of the moon's phases appears on a different night.
Yes. Unless the observer was on the back side of the moon, or on the opposite side of the earth from the moon, he/she could see the same phases that we see here on earth.

No - the moon itself stays the same shape. The phases of the moon change as the earth and moon orbit round the sun. The phases are simply the amount of sunlight reflected in relation to the position of the earth's shadow cast on the moon
No, 2013 does not have its moon phases on the same dates as 2005. The repeating calendar date for 2013 is actually 2002.
