Why can we see the moon but we can't see the other planets

I think I understand the point of your question - the moon is much more "obvious" to us than the other planets due to distance, i.e., the moon is only 240,000 miles away, while the closet planet - Venus - is 25.5 MILLION miles away.

I don't understand your question. We CAN see all the other planets. Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn are all visible with the naked eye, and Uranus and Neptune with a small telescope.

We can see other planets. We can see Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn.

240,000 miles vs multiple MILLIONS of miles. Consider this - IF the Earth were 'still flat' , and you were standing in Los Angeles do you think you could see the Statue of Liberty? That's only about 3000 miles!

You can see other planets, you just need to know what to look for. Venus and Mars are easily seen with the naked eye.

i do...i love to watch The Sky At Night with the legend that is Patrick Moore :o)

mars , galaxys , milky ways...almost makes you hungry thinking about it. ; )

Other planets are really small

The moon is so big that it can be seen from anywhere in the universe.

Its really a no brainer.

the moon is WAY closer.

we can actually. to jupiter with the naked eye

You REALLY can't figure this one out?

because the moon is closer to our planet.
