No. Jupiter never appears as a crescent from the earth
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.
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.
You can see Jupiter's moons any night whenever you can see Jupiter, with the possible exception of times when the Moon is close to it. Just now (2014) Jupiter is mostly visible in midwinter.
A crescent Jupiter cannot be seen from Earth because Jupiter always presents a full disk or nearly full disk due to its size and distance from the sun. Unlike the crescent phases seen in inner planets like Venus and Mercury as they orbit the sun, Jupiter's position relative to the sun and Earth means its illuminated side is always facing our viewpoint.
Jupiter is not known as the blue planet because it is not blue. See the link for a picture of Jupiter.
It was only during spacecraft missions to Jupiter that crescent views of the planet were obtained. A small telescope will usually show Jupiter's four Galilean moons and the prominent cloud belts across Jupiter's atmosphere. A large telescope will show Jupiter's Great Red Spot when it faces the Earth.
no, it is highly impossible to see a crescent Jupiter.

Sometimes but its not every night

Yes, Jupiter is one of the brightest objects in the night sky and can be seen with the naked eye under clear conditions. However, its visibility depends on its position relative to the Sun and Earth's orbit, so it may not always be visible throughout the year.
By shining your torch.
Jupiter has a moon called Io. It has active volcanoes made from sulfur. Sometimes this material gets into the orbit of Jupiter and forms a donut-shaped ring. Jupiter's rings are very hard to see and nowhere as spectacular as Saturn's.
yes you can see Jupiter from venus
Jupiter's rings are made of gas and dust.Dust, rock, ice...
Venus and Jupiter can be seen directly above the crescent moon around once a month. This celestial alignment occurs when the planets are in close proximity to the moon in the night sky, creating a beautiful and memorable sight for skywatchers.
Mars is closest to Jupiter on average but Saturn is sometimes closer when it is on the same side of the sun as Jupiter.
Jupiter's moon Io is sometimes referred to as the "Pizza Moon".
