We sometimes see gibbous (nearly but not quite full) Venus.
In the Ptolemaic system, we should never see more than a crescent in Venus. Because we do in fact see more, the Ptolemaic model must be wrong. The full range of phases that we see for Venus is consistent only with the idea that Venus orbits the Sun. Galileo was the first to observe the phases of Venus - and hence to find this evidence in support of the Sun-centered system - because he was the first to observe Venus through a telescope. Without a telescope, we cannot tell that Venus goes through phases.

The planets Venus, Uranus and Pluto rotate in retrograde rotation. Hope that helped ~ :-))
What are 3 ways space exploration has helped scientists?
It has helped the scientists predict the weather, learn how the planets actually are, and understand what space actually is.
Why was retrograde motion important in astronomy?
Retrograde motion important in astronomy because it helped to explain that the planets revolved around the Sun. Retrograde motion is the ability of some objects to rotate in a direction that is opposite what is expected.
What inner planets have no moon?
Mercury has no moons Venus has no moons Earth has 1 moon (Of course) Mars has 2 moons And that's all the inner planets HOPE IT HELPED :)
Does the other planets go around the sun?
Our nine planets orbit around the Sun. Other planets that are light-years away orbit around their suns (A sun is just a large star with planets). Hope this helped!

What force did Sir Isaac Newton say helped keep the planets moving around the sun?
orbit
When finding helped provide evidence that the planets orbit around the sun rather that the earth?
Venus progresses through phases similar to the Moon. (Galileo's improvements to the telescope meant that Venus was visible as a disc rather than a bright spot.)

Does a planets distance from the sun relate of surface found on the planets?
because the sun is far away from Pluto the planets suface would be ice i hope that helped you.
