Data file: spp_nom_20180812_20250831_v039_RO6.bsp created by JHUAPL on 2021-11-16.
Coordinates: the coordinates are geometric (no corrections for aberration, light-time, etc.).
Radius of the bodies: both Venus and the Sun are modeled as spheres with a radius of 6051.8 km and 696000 km respectively.
Interactive graphs: all the graphs are rendered with plotly.js, an open-source JavaScript graphing library to generate dynamic and interactive graphs. When plotly.js is used, the page could take a few seconds to load.
