Pictures.
Apr 4, 2014 at 16:40 comment added user42744 Thanks, but again, isn't that based on perspective from planet to sun. It sounds the basis of our solar system and how it looks is directly related from Earth's perspective.
Apr 4, 2014 at 16:36 comment added BMS The paragraph that starts with "The position of planet $X$" summarizes how it could be done. You only need to know where Earth is relative to the Sun, and where the planet is relative to Earth. I'll try to get some diagrams up.
