If you lived on Mars and observed the solar system from there, would describe retrograde loops, would always be seen near the sun, and would never be visible as crescent phases. (We are limiting responses to the five planets you could see with the naked eye from Mars, which are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Jupiter, and Saturn.) Hint: From Earth, all the other planets show retrograde motion; Mercury and Venus are always near the sun; and Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn are never visible as crescents.

Question:

If you lived on Mars and observed the solar system from there, would describe retrograde loops, would always be seen near the sun, and would never be visible as crescent phases

1. All other planets

2. Mercury, Venus, and Earth

3. Jupiter and Saturn

Explanation:

Living on Mars, all other planets would describe the retrograde loops, while the inner planets (Mercury, Venus, and Earth ) would always be seen near the sun. Planets like the Jupiter and Saturn which are far away from the sun will never have a crescent phase as those that will have a crescent phase must be between the mars and the sun
