The Venus - Earth Relationship
Take the distances of Venus and Earth from the Sun in Earth-based
Astronomical Units and you get nothing special:
| Planet |
Distance
from
the sun
in km (000) |
Distance
in AU
per NASA |
| Venus |
108,200 |
0.7233 |
| Earth |
149,600 |
1.0000 |
Let the distance of Mercury again be 1 and you get an entirely different perspective:
| Planet |
Distance
from
the sun
in km (000) |
Distance
where
Mercury
equals 1 |
| Venus |
108,200 |
1.8686 |
| Venus¾ |
|
1.5998 |
| Earth |
149,600 |
2.5833 |
Solar Geometry, using a ratio of 2.5966 reveals this intriguing
relationship between the Sun, Mars and Jupiter:
Earth = Venus ¾ *
(½ ( Ö5
+ 1 )) = 2.5833
The above construction is one of several ways to create a golden section
using geometry. The ratio of Earth to Venus¾
is 1.6180339, or phi.
