== GOD=7_4 algorithm determined Venus at .7 AU and its orbit of 224.7 days (7.4 months) ==
Our measurement of time historically comes from our observations of our physical universe. Years are based on the annual orbit of Earth being 365.25 days long. Months were originally based on the lunar 'moonth' of 29.53 days or an alternating between months of 29 & 30 days long. There are 4 lunar phases of a little over 7 days (~7.4 days) each varying due to apogee and perigee; this is where we get our 7 day week and 4 weeks in a month from. The lunar year + 7 day week + 4 days = solar year, so the 12 lunar months in a solar year must be adjusted accordingly. The Julian Calendar (Gregorian Calendar/Roman Calendar) has 7 months with 31 days, 4 with 30 days, and February's 28 days (7x4). 12 x 30.43 days (avg. month) = 365.16 days 30.43 days x 7.4 months = 225.182 Earth days of Venus' orbit which is actually 224.65 days (30.4 x 7.4 = 224.96 or rounded off to 224.7 or 225 days) Venus is at .7 AU and Mercury at .4 AU (astronomical unit) There are many more examples in this solar system of the GOD=7_4 algorithm; see http://GOD704.wikia.com . - Benjamin Franklin 65.34.130.188 (talk) 16:53, 31 August 2014 (UTC) |
Uncertain Meaning
edit"In this current era, the nearest that Venus passes by is just under 40 Gm."
"The nearest that Venus by" to what? The Earth? This needs to clarified. CFLeon (talk) 01:20, 25 January 2015 (UTC)
