   Nov 11, 2024 · Why Do We See the Transit from Earth? Venus is the second planet from the Sun and Earth is the third, and the planets circle the Sun at different speeds. It happens from time to time that Venus comes between Earth and the Sun, an event called an inferior conjunction. A top-down view would look like Fig. 1.

   You can only see Venus just before sunrise or just after sunset, when it is in a part of its orbit that is just barely visible from Earth’s night side. A similar situation makes Mercury visible only during these times also.

   At the tops of Venus’ clouds, whipped around the planet by winds measured as high as 224 mph (360 kph), we find another transformation. Persistent, dark streaks appear. Scientists are so far unable to explain why these streaks remain stubbornly intact, even amid hurricane-force winds. They also have the odd habit of absorbing ultraviolet ...

   Dec 29, 2023 · To see the surface of Venus from space, instruments must peer through the atmosphere. Radar, for example, can penetrate the thick clouds to see the surface below. Imaging radar sends out pulses of energy in radio frequencies (also called radar signals). These signals travel through space and through the atmosphere, then bounce off the materials ...

   The ancient Romans could easily see seven bright objects in the sky: the Sun, the Moon, and the five brightest planets (Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn). They named the objects after their most important gods. Venus, the third brightest object after the Sun and Moon, was named after the Roman goddess of love and beauty.

   Feb 9, 2022 · The first WISPR images of Venus were taken in July 2020 as Parker embarked on its third flyby, which the spacecraft uses to bend its orbit closer to the Sun. WISPR was designed to see faint features in the solar atmosphere and wind, and some scientists thought they might be able to use WISPR to image the cloud tops veiling Venus as Parker passed the planet.

   Should Venus be visible at night?

   • My part of Earth’s facing away from the Sun at night yet I see Venus which orbits closer to the Sun than Earth, shouldn’t Venus not be visible to me?

   Why is Venus above or below the Sun?

   • That’s because both Venus and the Moon, from our earthly point of view, can be above or below the Sun (Fig.2), and sunlight reaches us undisturbed. The orbit of Venus around the Sun is tipped in relation to the orbit of Earth.

   Can you see Venus from space?

   • Although four spacecraft have made it to the surface of Venus and survived long enough to return images, most observations of the planet’s surface have come from spacecraft in orbit. To see the surface of Venus from space, instruments must peer through the atmosphere. Radar, for example, can penetrate the thick clouds to see the surface below.

   Why is Venus a smear of light?

   • It's a cloud-swaddled planet named for a love goddess, often called Earth’s twin. But pull up a bit closer, and Venus turns hellish. Our nearest planetary neighbor, the second planet from the Sun, has a surface hot enough to melt lead. The atmosphere is so thick that, from the surface, the Sun is just a smear of light.
