It's happening right now! Go outside and look, but make sure you were sunglasses. It's super bright. But oh my lord, it's marvelous! c:
NO. Venus is hidden behind the Sun when its phase is "full".
When Venus goes behind the Sun (as viewed from Earth), its phase is full. You can't see it, of course. When it transits the Sun (passes between the Sun and the Earth), it's in its dark phase.
If you mean - starting from the Sun, then you get Mercury Venus Earth Mars So, Mars is, in that case, behind the earth.
If you are referring to the second planet from the sun, then the answer would be Venus.
Venus is 0.723332 AU (semi-major axis) from the Sun.
Venus is the second planet from the sun. Mercury is the only planet closer to the sun than Venus. The Earth is the next planet behind it

No, it is neither. It is the third planet from the sun, right behind Mercury and Venus.

The sun in facts does not rotate around Venus: Venus rotates are the sun on its axis.

Venus orbits the sun.
Note: Venus is closer to the Sun than the Earth: Thus when Venus is between the Earth and the Sun or behind the Sun you will not see it, you only see it when it is one side of the sun or the other. Depending on which side of the Sun it is you look towards where the sun will rise or set, just before sunrise or just after sunset. If it is there you can not fail to see it it is VERY bright. At the moment (7th March 2011) Venus is quite close to the Sun and can be seen near to horizon in the East, just before sunrise.
Mercury is closest to Sol (our sun) and Venus is right behind it. Then there's us.
If venus is 6.o light minutes from the sun what is Venus distance from the sun i astronomical units?
