Extremely small differences can indeed be seen by different observers in different locations due to the well-known parallax effect, but these are far too small to be noticed by mere visual observations (Venus will be at a distance of about 42 million km compared to earth's diameter of about 12 thousand km). They can be detected only through precise measurements, one of the prime objectives of early expeditions to observe the transits.SNPrasadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10360072893365420517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-440493849986517676.post-28799306041229466692012-06-02T21:07:10.581+05:302012-06-02T21:07:10.581+05:30Respected Sir,

But I see the Venus crossing the Sun transversely from left to right, an essential view from high northern latitudes! But in places nearer the Equator, Venus crosses the Sun verticaly from below upwards. Don't the readers in India, especially southern India, get confused?<br /><br />Dr. Narasimhan.<br />VirajpetDr. Narasimhanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06464407205787112512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-440493849986517676.post-68521253254139336612012-05-31T09:58:50.811+05:302012-05-31T09:58:50.811+05:30You are welcome to join me.
