Venus takes 243 days to spin on its axis relative to the background stars, while it takes 224.7 days to orbit the sun. Although its spin on its axis is longer that its orbital period, an apparent day is 116.75 days, since it spins in the other direction to Earth and most other planets.
For Venus, sunrise is in the west and then sets in the east some 58 days later - but you would not be able to see it through Venus' thich cloud cover.

Tomorrow, December 30, 2008, from Sacramento, CA, Venus rises at 10:13 AM and sets at 8:25 PM.
IMMEDIATELY AFTER SUNSET! Go out and look just to the south of where the Sun has set. If your eyes are good, you may be able to see Jupiter and Mercury, right next to each other. Look up and to the south a little; you probably won't be able to see the very dim Neptune, just below the very bright Venus. Then comes the crescent Moon. Above and to the south, in almost a straight line, you will not be able to see Uranus without a telescope, but it will be there.
Update for 4/09/12 from New York, New York.
Venus is an evening planet. Today, it sets at 10:55pm EDT. Tomorrow, it rises at 8:15am EDT, and probably won't be visible due to the glare from the Sun.

Does venuses sun rise and set the same as earth?
No, it doesn't. On Earth, the sun rises in the east and sets in the west every 24 hours (not exactly 24 hours, but close enough). On Venus, the sun would rise in the west and set in the east because it rotates in the opposite direction as Earth. On Venus, the sun would also rise approximately once every 8 months, because Venus rotates only 3 times every 2 Earth years.
Why does the sun rise in the west and set in the east on Venus?
Venus has retrograde rotation. That means that Venus rotates clockwise. Venus's clockwise spin is opposite to most planets, causing the Sun to appear to rise in the west and set in the east on its surface. However an observer on Venus would not be able to see the Sun or stars due to the thick clouds that cover the sky.
On this planet the sun rises in the west and sets in the east.?
Venus. Venus spins in reverse direction than that of Earth and the other planets.
What planet rises as the sun sets?
There are no planets that have constant rise and set times; those times change daily as the Earth and other planets follow their own orbital paths through the solar system. There are two planets that NEVER "rise as the sun sets"; Mercury and Venus are closer to the Sun than Earth is.
Brightest planet in the sky?
From Earth, the planet Venus is the brightest. When it's close to Earth in it's orbital cycle (about every 18 months) it can be easily seen early in the morning just before the sun rise, and again at night just after the sun has set.

What is the name given to the east-to-west rotation on Venus?
Venus rotation about its axis, in which the sun appears to rise in the west and set in the east, is called a retrograde rotation.

Where does the sun would rise in venus?
The sun rises in the west and sets in the east.
What is the planet on which the sun does not rise and set?
All planets that rotate in our solar system will see apparent sun rise and sun set There are no planets that are stationary not to view the apparent sun rise and sun set.

What is often reffered to as the morning star?
Venus and Mercury are both called the Morning Star when they rise before the Sun does. They are called also called the Evening Star when they set after the Sun.
Why does the sun rise in the west and set in the east when viewed from?
Venus has a retrograde rotation. That means it spins in the opposite directioncompared with Earth.The Sun can't be seen from Venus because of the atmosphere, but you've got the right idea.The reason is that Venus rotates in the opposite direction compared with Earth.
Where is Venus located at sunset?
Venus can typically be seen in the western sky at sunset, shortly after the Sun has set. It will appear as a bright star-like object. Its visibility and exact position may vary depending on the time of year.
