Title: 3. The conjuction when Venus is above or below Earth's orbit 
Description: During most conjunctions, although the two planets are lined up, Venus is either above or, as shown here, below the Earth in its orbit. Therefore, we usually see Venus pass either above or below the Sun during a conjunction.
