Sometimes Venus only grazes the sun during a transit. In this case it is possible that in some areas of the earth a full transit can be seen while in other regions there is only a partial transit (no second or fourth contact). In other cases, it is possible that some parts of the world see a partial transit while others see no transit at all.
The last transit during which Venus was only partially visible in front of the Sun for some areas of the world was on December 6 1631. The next transit which will only be visible as a partial transit in some parts of the world will occur on December 13 2611 .
The simultaneous occurrence of a transit of Venus and a transit of Mercury is extremely rare, and will next occur only in the far distant years of 69163 and 224508.
The simultaneous occurrence of a solar eclipse and a transit of Venus is very rare. The next solar eclipse occurring during a transit of Venus will be on April 5, 15232.
Only 5 hours after the transit of Venus on June 4 1769 there was a total solar eclipse, which was visible in Northern America, Europe and Northern Asia almost as partial solar eclipse. This was the lowest time difference between a transit of a planet and a solar eclipse in the historical past.
