I've been looking at the new entries at the PDS for WHR quotes, to compile as good a list of actual quoted Whr values as I can......so if you find one, add it to this thread and I'll update this post with figures....any source as long as it's an actual figure and an actual sol.

Martian and Venusian conjunctions last longest, as the planet's moving along the ecliptic with a speed that's a significant fraction of the Sun's speed. For the outer planets, they crawl along the ecliptic slow enough that their motion doesn't really extend the conjunction period much at all.

For the outer planets, they crawl along the ecliptic slow enough that their motion doesn't really extend the conjunction period much at all. Interesting view! In the other words, the Mercury orbit is closer to the solar planar orbit and Neptune's planar orbit is somewhat lower than the inner planets due to the Sun's path direction. The Sun gravity is pulling the rest of planets in somewhat lagging distance. The longer distance, wider is the gap. Caution , All of these above words are only formulated by logical toughts.
