Comment Appelle-t-on le passage d'une planète Vénus ou Mercure devant le disque solaire vu depuis la Terre ?

C'est un phénomène possible uniquement pour les planètes dont l'orbite est située entre celle de la Terre et le Soleil et donc, seulement avec Mercure et Vénus. Un passage (appelé aussi transit) se produit lorsque le Soleil, Mercure (ou Vénus) et la Terre sont alignés.

What is the shape of Venus's orbit around the Sun?

• Its orbit around the Sun is the most circular of any planet — nearly a perfect circle. Other planet's orbits are more elliptical, or oval-shaped. With an axial tilt of just 3 degrees, Venus spins nearly upright, and so does not experience noticeable seasons.

Why is Venus the hottest planet in the Solar System?

• Similar in structure and size to Earth, Venus spins slowly in the opposite direction from most planets. Its thick atmosphere traps heat in a runaway greenhouse effect, making it the hottest planet in our solar system with surface temperatures hot enough to melt lead. Glimpses below the clouds reveal volcanoes and deformed mountains.

What do Earth and Venus look like side by side?

• If we could slice Venus and Earth in half, pole to pole, and place them side by side, they would look remarkably similar. Each planet has an iron core enveloped by a hot-rock mantle; the thinnest of skins forms a rocky, exterior crust.

What excites gases in Venus' outermost atmosphere?

• Ultraviolet light from the Sun excites gases in Venus' outermost atmosphere; these electrically excited gases are called ions, and thus this region is called the ionosphere (Earth has an ionosphere as well).
