The planets that show phases like the moon are A. A) Venus and B) Mercury.
Explanation:
- When certain portion of a planet surface reflects direct sun, it is viewed from a vantage point. This is called as planetary phase.
- Mercury and Venus are within the orbit of the earth. So, these planets are called as inferior planets.
- Sometimes, entire planet is viewed from the earth, as they are at superior conjunction. This phase is called "full".
- These planets cannot be viewed properly from earth surface because sun light is scattered on the earth's atmosphere. But these planets are easily viewed in space from their vantage point.
- When the planets are in inferior conjunction, they pass between sun and earth. This phase is called "new".
