Do you sometimes see a crescent in Jupiter?

Yes, the crescent-shaped appearance of Jupiter is due to its phases as it orbits the Sun. When Jupiter is in crescent phase as seen from Earth, it means that the side facing the Sun is mostly illuminated while the opposite side is in shadow.


Why can you never see a crescent Jupiter from Earth?

Jupiter always appears as a full disk or a nearly full disk when viewed from Earth because it is much larger and closer to the Sun than the Earth. This means that the angle between the Sun, Jupiter, and Earth is such that we always see most of Jupiter illuminated. A crescent phase, where only a portion of Jupiter is illuminated, is not possible due to this alignment.
