== Between Mercury and Venus == At nearly every [[superior conjunction]] of [[Venus]] (when Venus passes behind the Sun) there is a triple conjunction between [[Mercury (planet)|Mercury]] and Venus. In most cases the second conjunction is not visible, because both planets have too small [[Elongation (astronomy)|elongation from the Sun]]. Triple conjunctions between Mercury and Venus are also possible when they are passing between Earth and the Sun at the same time. This event is much rarer, and also in this case the second conjunction is usually not observable.
