  2. Orbit of Venus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbit_of_Venus

    Representation of Venus (yellow) and Earth (blue) circling around the Sun. Venus and its rotation in respect to its revolution. Venus has an orbit with a semi-major axis of 0.723 au (108,200,000 km; 67,200,000 mi), and an eccentricity of 0.007. [1] [2] The low eccentricity and comparatively small size of its orbit give Venus the least range in ...

  3. Retrograde and prograde motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retrograde_and_prograde_motion

    Six of the planets also rotate about their axis in this same direction. The exceptions – the planets with retrograde rotation – are Venus and Uranus. Venus's axial tilt is 177°, which means it is rotating almost exactly in the opposite direction to its orbit. Uranus has an axial tilt of 97.77°, so its axis of rotation is approximately ...

  4. Biblical astronomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biblical_astronomy

    The various authors of the Hebrew Bible (Tanakh, or Old Testament) have provided various names. Isaiah 14:12 is about one Helel ben Shahar, called the King of Babylon in the text. Helel ("morning star, son of the dawn") is translated as Lucifer in the Vulgate Bible but its meaning is uncertain. [1]

  5. Apparent retrograde motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apparent_retrograde_motion

    An animation explaining why the planet Mercury may appear to move "backwards", or retrograde across Earth's sky. Apparent retrograde motion is the apparent motion of a planet in a direction opposite to that of other bodies within its system, as observed from a particular vantage point.

  6. Hebrew astronomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hebrew_astronomy

    Hebrew astronomy refers to any astronomy written in Hebrew or by Hebrew speakers, or translated into Hebrew, or written by Jews in Judeo-Arabic.It includes a range of genres from the earliest astronomy and cosmology contained in the Bible, mainly the Tanakh (Hebrew Bible or "Old Testament"), to Jewish religious works like the Talmud and very technical works.

    Venus is the planet of love, sex, beauty, glamor, indulgence, and money–which means all of these themes in our lives will be affected by the illusionary backward spin of Venus when she goes ...

  8. Orbital inclination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbital_inclination

    The equatorial plane is the plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the central body. An inclination of 30° could also be described using an angle of 150°. The convention is that the normal orbit is prograde, an orbit in the same direction as the planet rotates. Inclinations greater than 90° describe retrograde orbits (backward). Thus:
