Why do Venus and Jupiter meet on sky so often ??

Venus and Jupiter " meet " in the sky a lot because of their orbit work relative to Earth.

Venus orbits the Sun in 225 days. It's an inner planet and zips around faster than Earth.

Jupiter takes 11.86 Earth years to orbit around the Sun.  Its an outer planet and " crawls " compared to Earth  !!!

Earth is also orbiting the Sun.  As Jupiter makes its slow annual trek around Sun across our point of view, fast moving Venus inevitably overtakes and passes by Jupiter  !!!

Venus and Jupiter line up with each other roughly around 13 - 14 months.

All planets orbit in elliptical plane.  So they naturally pass each other in the sky from time to time.

Venus and Jupiter cross paths more often than any other planets because of math of their periods.

As both Venus and Jupiter are brightest, they really stand out. Fainter planets can be in conjunction, but we don't notice  !!!

Both Venus and Jupiter line up perfectly along our line of sight, they are actually never close in space.

Both of them remain seperated by millions of kms in space .  The meeting of two planets is the perfect optical illusion    !!!!
