Any planet whose moons orbit close to the plane of the ecliptic can experience a lunar eclipse. Jupiter, for example, frequently eclipses its moons. We can even see that from here; some of the Jovian moons do sometimes "disappear" as they orbit into Jupiter's enormous shadow.
Planets that have moons can have lunar eclipses. However we are extremely lucky that the apparent size of the moon is the same as the apparent size of the sun. Therefore our solar eclipses are more spectacular than the solar eclipses on other planets. certainly on the Mars neither moon would be large enough to hide the whole sun. Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune have no surface you could stand on to see an eclipse. Uranus has no moons that can be in the right position. Pluto's moon is (probably) far larger than the apparent size of the sun. Venus and Mercury do not have moons.
No, only those on the night side of the planet Earth. When a lunar eclipse happens it is visible to all people on Earth who have a view of the moon during the period of the eclipse.
However with a solar eclipse, the only people who can see totality are those directly under path traced by the full (umbral) shadow of the moon - which is only about 100 miles across.
Half the world sees it - the part that is turned towards the Moon. Because it happens at Full Moon, the half turned towards the Moon is also the dark half of the Earth, because at places where the Full Moon is up, the Sun is down.
Not all of them, Mercury and Venus have no moons. Some planets have many, such as Jupiter and Saturn (each with over 60 moons).

Do all planets orbit the moon?
No. The planets orbit the sun.
What objects do not emit light on their own?
planets, moon,etc do not emit light on their own.
Does the moon orbit Jupiter?
No, the moon does not orbit Jupiter. Instead, Jupiter has its own moons, the largest of which is Ganymede. Moons orbit planets, while planets orbit the sun.
Do planets reflect light from the moon and the sun?
Yes, planets reflect light from both the Sun and the Moon. Planets reflect sunlight because they do not have their own light source. The light reflected from the Moon is actually sunlight that has been reflected off the Moon's surface.
How planets and moon are alike and different?
Planets and moons are both celestial bodies that orbit around a larger body, such as a star like the Sun. However, planets are typically larger in size, have more mass, and are able to support their own atmosphere, while moons are smaller and often lack an atmosphere of their own. Moons generally orbit around planets, while planets orbit around stars.
What other planets have there own planets?
As of now, the only planet known to have its own moon is Earth. Other planets in our solar system have moons but no planets of their own. In our solar system, moons primarily orbit around planets rather than planets orbiting around other planets.
Does each planet have its own moon?
No, not every planet has its own moon. While some planets have multiple moons and others have no moons at all, it is common for planets in our solar system to have at least one moon.
Do the moon moon planets or asteroids lie far beyond the milky way?
No. The moon and the planets and asteroids of our solar system are all in our galaxy and only form a tiny part of it. However, there are doubtless other solar systems in galaxies other than out own, each with its own set of planets, moons, and asteroids.
Why doesn't the sun have its own moon?
It does - they are called planets!!!
Do all planets orbit the moon?
No. The planets orbit the sun.
What objects do not emit light on their own?
planets, moon,etc do not emit light on their own.
What two planets are larger than the moon?
Actually all the current planets are larger than our moon.
Does the moon orbit Jupiter?
No, the moon does not orbit Jupiter. Instead, Jupiter has its own moons, the largest of which is Ganymede. Moons orbit planets, while planets orbit the sun.
What makes a star different from the moon?
a star emits its own light. the moon just reflects, it like the planets, it has no light of its own
What planets has at least 1 moon?
All of the planets in the Solar System except for Mercury and Venus have at least one moon.
Do all the planets have moons?
NO! Not all planets have a moon. Venus and mercury don't have a moon/s.
Do all planets has moon?
No, they don't. But most of our planets that orbit the sun do.
