A transit of Venus takes place when Venus passes directly between the Sun and the Earth (or any other superior planet), becoming visible against (and hence obscuring a small portion of) the solar disk. During a transit, Venus is visible as a small black circle moving across the face of the Sun. Transits of Venus reoccur periodically.

The origins of frames S and S′ coincide at time t = 0 in frame S and also at t′ = 0 in frame S′. [2]: 107 Frame S′ moves in the x-direction of frame S with velocity v as measured in frame S. This spatial setting is displayed in the Fig 1-2, in which the temporal coordinates are separately annotated as quantities t and t'.

2012 transit of Venus, projected to a white card by a telescope. A transit of Venus is the appearance of Venus in front of the Sun, during inferior conjunction. Since the orbit of Venus is slightly inclined relative to Earth's orbit, most inferior conjunctions with Earth, which occur every synodic period of 1.6 years, do not produce a transit ...
