Why? Why isn't Venus?


Short answer, orbits.

Current planetary positions.


Venus comes much closer, but the planet that is usually closer is Mercury. Since even at it's farthest it is still right near the sun.

I read this all in the last week or so and thought it was cool. Never really thought about it before.
