Mars appears from Earth to go through all the phases like Venus.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mars does not go through all the phases like Venus, as seen from Earth. However, it does go through phases visible through telescopes or spacecraft, due to its position relative to the Sun and Earth. Mars does not go through all the phases like Venus because it is an outer planet, meaning it orbits the Sun from a greater distance than Earth, and therefore appears to have only a limited range of phases from our perspective on Earth.
