(a) Suppose Venus is halfway between the Earth and Sun (that is, Ryenus - REarth 2). What then would be true about the two similar triangles on the above diagram-the triangles whose tips touch and whose bases are on the Earth and Sun, respectively? O The one on the left (attached to Earth) will be larger. They will be the same size. The one on the right (attached to the Sun) will be larger.
