▪
inferior
conjunction
-
The
two
planets
closer
to
the
Sun
than
us
will
pass
through
inferior
conjunction
when
they
are
in
between
us
and
the
Sun.
More
often
than
not,
the
planet
does
not
cross
the
face
of
the
Sun,
or
transit.
An
inferior
planet
is
quite
unobservable
when
it
is
at
inferior conjunction
