This is how I know you're trolling, you can't possibly be that stupid to make statements like these.
For those in the thread that are actually confused by this, set up the sun, Venus and earth in relative positions with models and you can see that Venus would be visible for a portion of the night side of the earth and eventually would set as long as Venus is not directly between the earth and sun which for most of the year is true.
With Jupiter outside our orbit we obviously see the whole thing.
Have fun explaining science's exact prediction of this and every solar or lunar eclipse. How about explaining any possible FE predictions of eclipses and as all your teachers should have asked you, "show your work"
