galileos telescope showed him that venus has a large angular diameter (61 second of arc) when it is a cresent and a small angular diameter ( 10 secnd of arc) when it is nearly full. use the small angle formula to find the ratio of its maximum distance to its minimum distance. Is this ratio compatible wih the ptolemaic universe?
