Alright, my curiosity has gotten the best of me. Does somebody know if all 3
planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth) transit the Sun from Mars, all 4 from Jupiter,
all 5 from Saturn, etc,etc. Are there some, from which transits are never seen
of all the inferior planets (Pluto?) How often do the above transits occur?
Would appreciate this information. Thanks.
