No, you misunderstand my question; where does one stand to see Venus appear to
have the same diameter as the Sun. There is certainly nowhere on Earth that
you can stand to see this.

Looking at the image in question, Venus on the far side of the Sun is too big
for this to be an accurate representation of things as seen from a vantage point
close enough to Venus to make the apparent angular diameters of the two equal
when Venus is nearest the viewpoint.

Hence, the diagram must be regarded as schematic in nature.
