  Transit of Venus from Mars - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
No one has ever seen a transit of Venus from Mars, but the next one will take place on August 20, 2030, and could be observed by spaces probes or hypothetical Mars colonists.
The inclination of Venus' orbit with respect to Mars' ecliptic is 1.94°, which is less than its value of 3.39° with respect to Earth's ecliptic.
When the distance between Venus and Mars at inferior conjunction is large enough (with Venus having an angular diameter of around 19"), a new series starts before the old one has ended.

Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun in the solar system, named for the Roman god of war (the counterpart of the Greek Ares), on account of its blood red color.
Mars has only a quarter the surface area of the Earth and only 1/10th the mass (though because it lacks oceans the area of Mars's accessible dry land is approximately equal to that of the Earth's dry land).
Recent findings by the Mars Odyssey probe's gamma ray spectrometer and neutron spectrometer have determined that there are vast deposits of water ice in the upper three meters of Mars's soil within 60° latitude of the south pole.

In 1993, Venus and Mars was remastered and reissued on CD as part of "The Paul McCartney Collection" series with "Zoo Gang" ("Band on the Run"'s b-side in 1974), "Lunch Box/Odd Sox" (one of "Coming Up"'s two b-sides in 1980), and "My Carnival" ("Spies Like Us"' b-side in 1985) as bonus tracks.

 Venus and Mars by BOTTICELLI, Sandro
Venus, calm and self-assured, watches the sleeping Mars, while little fauns playfully rush about the scene.
This can all be connected with Humanist themes: Venus as the personification of love conquering Mars, who symbolizes discord.

Although Hans Mont composed the statue with a dominant view of Venus from the front and Mars from the side, the complex entwining of the figures encourages the viewer to walk around them.
Mont reveals the characters' personalities through the shapes of their bodies: Venus curves her elegant long limbs in an unfinished spiral around the more rectilinear posture of the muscular god of war.
As is characteristic of Mannerism, naturalism is sacrificed for elegance of composition: Venus' forearms and wrists bend illogically as she wraps her long arms around Mars.
