What else can I help you with?
Is Venus in its full phase visible from earth?
No, Venus in its full phase is not visible from Earth. When Venus is in its full phase, it is positioned on the opposite side of the Sun from Earth, which means it is lost in the Sun's glare and not visible to us.
What is the brightest band of light you can see in the night sky?
The Milky Way is a band of at least 200 billion distant stars and is a part of our galaxy,
What does the planet Venus look like?
From Earth, Venus appears mostly gray, although slightly yellowish, brown or blue under various circumstances.Once beneath the clouds, Venus is a dimly lit landscape of dry, barren rocks, and most of the landforms are various types of volcanic mountains and plateaus.*For pictures of Venus, see the related links below.It looks like part of a featureless white disk. The shape depends on what phase it was in just like the moon you may see a crescent venus or a half venus or a whole venus I viewed venus with my telescope in south west virginia on December 19th in the west sky at 6pm it looked like the the crescent moon
Galileo's observations of the gibbous phase of Venus proved what?
Galileo's observations of the gibbous phase of Venus proved that the Sun was the center of the Solar System, with the planets revolving around it. This disproved the prevailing theory of the time that the planets orbited around the Earth.
What did Copernicus realize that Venus is an inferior planet?
The Ptolemaic system has Venus travelling between Earth and Sun. Copernicus's theory has both the Earth and Venus going round the Sun although Venus is in a smaller orbit than the Earth. That makes it an inferior planet, which goes through inferior conjunction once in every synodic period, at which time it is liable to transit across the Sun's disk, as last happened in 2012. When Venus is close to passing between us and the Sun it appears as a crescent, like a crescent moon, and this is predicted by both the Geocentric and the Heliocentric theories. The main geocentric theory fails to predict Venus's gibbous phase when it is on the opposite side of the Sun. However this does not prove the heliocentric theory because Tycho Brahe's system predicts the gibbous phase for Venus yet it still has the Earth at the centre. The heliocentric theory was finally accepted long after the time of Copernicus, Tycho and even Galileo, when further scientific discoveries by Kepler and Newton, and others, made its acceptance inevitable.
What phase of matter does Venus have?
Venus is a solid planet.
What is the significance of Galileo's observations of the phase of venus?
The phases of the planet Venus are the different variations of lighting seen on the planet's surface
Brightest planet at night?
The brightest planet at night, depending on phase, is Venus. Jupiter and Mars can be a close second, depending on the season.
Which would never be visible as crescent phase?
Venus would never be visible as a crescent phase because it is an inner planet whose orbit is between Earth and the Sun. This means that Venus can never appear to us in crescent phase, as it would always show either a full or nearly full phase when viewed from Earth.
What is the only phase in which a solar eclipsed can occur?
A solar eclipse can only occur at New Moon
Is Venus in its full phase visible from earth?
No, Venus in its full phase is not visible from Earth. When Venus is in its full phase, it is positioned on the opposite side of the Sun from Earth, which means it is lost in the Sun's glare and not visible to us.
What planet is the brightest at night?
Venus is the brightest planet in the night sky. It is often referred to as the "evening star" when it is visible after sunset or as the "morning star" when it is visible before sunrise. Venus's brightness is due to its thick cloud cover that reflects sunlight very effectively.
What planet is seen as the same phrases like the moon?
There are none. The planet Venus is often seen in its gibbous and crescent phases, but never appears to be full; when it would be, Venus is hidden behind the Sun. And Venus only appears in the "new" phase twice per century, during the "transits of Venus". The planets Mars, Jupiter and Saturn appear in the gibbous and full phases, but never in the crescent or new phases.
What is the brightest band of light you can see in the night sky?
The Milky Way is a band of at least 200 billion distant stars and is a part of our galaxy,
Which Planet was referred to as Nergal?
Nergal actually seems to be in part of a solar deity, sometimes identified with Shamash, but only a representative of a certain phase of the Sun. So no planet.
If you lived on mars which planets would never be visible as crescent phases?
To see a crescent on a planet, most of the surface that is facing you must be dark. For this to happen the planet must be between the sun and you. Planets that are further away from the sun therefore will never have a crescent phase when viewed from Mars.
What phase is the moon in when you can see more than one?
When you can see more than one phase of the moon at the same time, it's likely a waxing gibbous or waning gibbous phase. This occurs when the moon is more than half illuminated but not fully full or new.
