You know how the moon rotates around the Earth, and has phases because of the suns rays hitting its crust? Its the same with Venus. You know that Venus revolves around the sun, right? But did you know that it also has phases? Its true. Anyway, Venus's phases are just like the moons. I don't know why Venus has phases, but I sure do know how.;)

Ptolemy did not explain Venus phases in his geocentric model because he believed that Venus, like all other planets, moved around the Earth in perfect circles and did not exhibit phases like the Moon. His model could not account for the varying phases of Venus because it was based on circular motion and did not include elliptical orbits or the correct understanding of planetary motion.
