Why did Galileo's observation that Venus showed phases like the Moon indicate that the geocentric theory of the solar system was not possible?
◦ It demonstrated that Venus could not be in orbit around Earth between Earth and the Sun because it shows "full" and "new" phases that would never occur with geocentric geometry.
◦ It was not an important observation supporting heliocentric theory, but it did work out to be consistent with the theory.
◦ It demonstrated that Venus orbited Earth like the Moon, but both had to orbit the Sun.
◦ It showed that Venus had to have a highly elliptical orbit that nearly crosses Earth's to produce phases like the Moon.
