Geometrical aspects of Venus transit

We obtained two astronomical values, the Earth-Venus distance and Venus diameter, by means of a geometrical treatment of photos taken of Venus transit in June of 2012. Here we presented the static and translational models that were elaborated taking into account the Earth and Venus orbital movements...
