Uh Oh... I don't know how Venus will get out of this Jam!

[cthulu2016]

Actually, it was okay for Venus because she is a lot closer to Earth than she is to the sun. But knowing that, just think how small a dot she would be if she was right up near the sun.

(Venus is about 108 million kilometers. Earth averages about 150 million kilometers)
