It can only be seen during total solar eclipses.

Are almost non-existent (much less seasonal differences than on Earth).

None of the above

Sample Question 3

Like the Moon, Venus shows only one "face" to the Earth.

Like Mercury, Venus shows only one "face" to the Sun.

It turns in the opposite direction (on its axis) in comparison to the rotation of the Earth (on its axis).
