The illustration shows the relative sizes of the Earth and the Moon to scale.
Using dimensions from Wikipedia and geometry’s classic Pythagorean Theorem, this is
expressed mathematically as follows:
Hypotenuse /

This triangle is known as a Kepler triangle. This geometric construction is the same as
that which appears to have been used in the construction of the Great Pyramid of
Egypt.

The diameter of Saturn is very close to a phi relationship with the diameter of its rings,
as illustrated by the green lines. The inner ring division is in a relationship that is very
close to phi with the diameter of the rings outside the sphere of the planet, as illustrated
by the blue lines.The Cassini division in the rings of Saturn falls at the Golden Section of
the width of the lighter outside section of the rings.
Note: Phi grid showing Golden Ratio lines provided by PhiMatrix software.
A closer look at Saturn’s rings reveals a darker inner ring which exhibits the same
golden section proportion as the brighter outer ring.

In addition, Venus orbits the Sun in 224.695 days while Earth orbits the Sun in 365.242
days, creating a ratio of 8/13 (both Fibonacci numbers) or 0.615 (roughly phi.) Thus 5
conjunctions of Earth and Venus occur every 8 orbits of the Earth around the Sun and
every 13 orbits of Venus.
Mercury, on the other hand, orbits the Sun in 87.968 Earth days, creating a conjunction
with the Earth every 115.88 days. Thus there are 365.24/115.88 conjunctions in a year,
or 22 conjunctions in 7 years, which is very close to Pi!

Note: We sometimes forget about the asteroids when thinking of the planets in our
solar system. Ceres, the largest asteroid, is nearly spherical, comprises over one-third
the total mass of all the asteroids and is thus the best of these minor planets to
represent the asteroid belt. (Insight on mean orbital distances contributed by Robert
Bartlett.)
2005 unveiled the discovery of a 10th planet called 2003UB313. It was found at a
distance of 97 times that of the Earth from the Sun. Its ratio to Pluto would thus be
2.47224, much higher than any previous planet to planet orbital distance ratio. Could it
be that this is actually the 11th planet and the 10th planet will be found at an orbit
whose ratio is 1.52793 times that of Pluto, preserving the phi average? Time will only
tell, but if it happens remember that you heard it here first.
