Venus have phases/crescents in
opposite order than mercury and
moon , Venus is a bit brighter
when bigger (closer to earth) and
when Venus is not combusted/
too close to the Sun.

The solar day (or sol) on Mars is
only slightly longer than an Earth
day: 24 hours, 39 min.
Mars' axial tilt is 25.19 degrees,
which is similar to the axial tilt of
sun/ Earth. As a result, Mars has
seasons like the Earth but longer

the planet always appears nearly
fully illuminated because of it's far
distance. The orbital period of Jupiter
is also about two-fifths the orbital
period of Saturn, so after 60 years
they both fell in the same position
with each other.

Planetary war; Of the two planets, the following will win the war:
One which passes to the north of the other (whith higher latitude from equator), One which has a more favourable appearance, brightness and steadiness,
One which has bigger size, One which is direct and more distant from the Sun, One which has more strength from other sources.
at the time of planetary war, the winning planet takes over the influences of the loser. This is like in a war the winner takes over the land, people, treasures, animals etc. of the loser and exercises control over them. So the
winner will act as the lord of the houses lorded by the loser and occupy its natural karakatwas also.
