in his observations of the planet venus, what was seen by galileo that could only be explained by venus revolving around the sun?
○ a complete cycle of phases
○ a changing distance from earth
○ venus appearing brighter than jupiter
○ high temperatures
○ venus rising in the morning

Explanation:

Galileo observed that Venus went through a complete cycle of phases similar to the Moon. This could only be explained if Venus revolved around the Sun. In the geocentric model, Venus would not show a full - phase cycle. The changing distance from Earth, brightness compared to Jupiter, high temperatures, and rising time do not uniquely prove Venus's orbit around the Sun like the phase cycle does.

Answer:

a complete cycle of phases
