As Venus and Jupiter are clearly visible these days I was just wondering, if I was standing on Venus looking at Jupiter would it look the same size as it does from Earth?

I know Jupiter is much further away.

Jupiter is 100 times bigger than Earth and 10 times bigger than Venus. However I don't think you would be able to see Jupiter from Venus. If you could then I would say it would look bigger than the Earth.



I'm probably going to be proved wrong though.

You can see Patrick Moore on a clear night around here.

Jimmy,



I fear it's too late for him to get a knighthood... as he is already Sir Alfred Patrick Caldwell-Moore... but I do like the sound of The Sky at Knight.. although I guess some might confuse it with Sky TV....
