1. Despite there being no fractions in their arithmetic and observational difficulties due to frequent early morning mists and much cloud in the rainy season, they ultimately attained an accuracy in the determination of the synodic period of Venus that was of the order of one day in five thousand years, that is roughly one part in two million.
2. If the synodic period of Venus were exactly 584 days, the number of revolutions required would be 65, corresponding to 146 of the 260-day cycles.
3. The main problem was to determine after how many synodic revolutions, or reappearances of Venus as "the morning star", this phenomenon would recur on 1 Ahau.
4. The Maya priests discovered, however, that 584 days is a slight overestimate of the average synodic period of Venus.
5. Because of its large distance from the Sun Jupiter moves around its orbit rather slowly, and therefore the intervals between oppositions as seen from the Earth (the synodic orbital period) are only about a month longer than a year.
