This animation follows Venus and Earth through one synodic period. Note that because of its retrograde rotation, it takes less than 243 days for Venus to rotate with respect to the Sun. Also note that Venus rotates four times with respect to the earth during a synodic period (i.e., the red reference line points toward Earth four times)
