File information Description Phases of Venus: As it moves around its orbit, Venus displays phases like those of the Moon: it is new when it passes between the Earth and the Sun, small and full when it is on the opposite side of the Sun, and a half-phase when it is at its maximum elongations from the Sun. Venus is brightest when it is a large but thin crescent and much closer to the Earth.
