How to explain the implication that the ancient moon covered Venus?
"The moon covers Venus" is a celestial phenomenon that happens when the moon just walks between Venus and the earth and the three planets are in a straight line. This is a regular astronomical phenomenon. Astronomers can accurately calculate the time of the moon's eclipse of Venus in advance, so there is no early warning, which has no special significance in ancient or modern times.
The formation principle of the moon covering Venus
When Venus, the moon and the earth are in a straight line, it is possible that the moon will cover Venus, which is similar to the principle of solar eclipse. When the total solar eclipse occurs, only a small part of the world can see it; When the moon covers Venus, only a few people in the world can see it. Therefore, the probability that the public can see that the moon devours Venus may be less than the total solar eclipse.
