Physics

Scientific paper

Transits of Venus occur in pairs 8 yr apart, the pairs separated by intervals of either 112 or 130 yr, because of the pattern of approximate orbital resonances. Transits of Mercury show a different pattern, partly because of the more eccentric orbit, and also because the structure of the approximate resonances is different. The near-resonance in Venus' axial rotation strongly suggests a tidal link with the Earth.
