Why does Venus take a shorter time to orbit the Sun in the heliocentric model, than to exhibit its cycle of phases? O Because Venus' orbit is larger than that of Earth's. This is a trick question and the time period for Venus to exhibit its cycle of phases is the same as the time it takes to orbit the Sun. Because the Earth is also moving in that time period. Therefore Earth is no longer in the same position as at the start of the cycle, as after 225 days. Because the Sun is also moving in that time period. Therefore Earth is no longer io the same position as at the start of the cycle, as after 225 days.
