A simple Venus global strata base on Ivanov and Head's model (2011) (Note that it is just a simple global strata, not every region on Venus has this strata.) Under the Global stratigraphic Classification Scheme, by correlating the units mentioned above (Mikhail A. Ivano and James W. Head, 2011), [ 13 ] the researchers suggested three phases of ...
Because its orbit takes it between the Earth and the Sun, Venus as seen from Earth exhibits visible phases in much the same manner as the Earth's Moon.
