I asked this here a while ago but never got a satisfactory answer, so I'll ask it again.
Every once in a while, Venus can be seen silhouetted against the sun as seen here:
http://www.sciencebits.com/venustransit This is explained in both RET and FET, however in FET venus would have to be much smaller to create the same size shadow against the sun, because the sun is only 3200km from the earth (I think that was it, its been a while since I read the FAQ) and the sun is much smaller. So if venus is smaller in FET then the other planets would have to be smaller too, so that the proportion between the size of venus and the other planets would stay the same like in this photo:
http://www.imagineeringezine.com/e-zine/small-world_1.htm (I don't know if these are draw to size, but w/e its just to make a point.) So if the planets are a whole lot smaller in FET why are the gravitational effects from them still there?
I've tried my best to use correct spelling/grammar, because this seems to be a common tactic in pulling attention away from the question, however my spelling/grammar is far from perfect so if you see a mistake, please refrain from bitching about it.
