A year on Venus is shorter than a year on Earth, but a "day" on Venus is much longer than a day on Earth.
I'm not sure exactly what you were trying to ask, but that should about cover it.

∙ 11y agoA year on Venus is 224 Earth days and a day is 243 Earth days. This answer isn't bad, but remember the Solar day is "only" about 117 Earth days on Venus. I like the Solar day. It takes Venus about 243 Earth days to rotate once and that's what is called a Sidereal day.
Venus takes 225 days to orbit once around the Sun. This makes one year on Venus less than one year on Earth.
There are 243 Earth days for a Venus day - but a Venus year is just under 225 Earth days. Therefore - a day on Venus is longer than a year !
Earth rotates faster than Venus by about 141 days.
I want to start by correcting you. First off a year on Venus is not less than two days. In fact a year on Venus is 224.7days. However, the reason it is so much shorter than earth is purely based on it's location. The further a planet is from the sun, the larger it's orbit is. The larger the orbit, the longer the year. That is why Venus has a short year. It has a smaller orbit around the Sun.This answer still needs improving. So here goes.A year on Venus IS less than 2 VENUS days,but not less than 2 EARTHdays of course. There are two main definitions of a "day" in astronomy, buteither way the Venus year is less than 2 Venus days.

yes a year on Venus is less than 2 days
Venus takes 225 days to orbit once around the Sun. This makes one year on Venus less than one year on Earth.
None. Venus has the longest rotation period of 243 days, less than a year.
Less than the earth's time It takes about 225 Earth days to orbit the Sun.

Venus has less mass than Earth does, and therefore has weaker gravity.
The Venus year is less than 2 Venus days.Because Venus rotates very slowly clockwise, the opposite direction of most planets, the "day" on Venus is caused by its orbit of the Sun. It takes Venus 243 Earth days to turn once on its axis, but only 225 Earth days to circle the Sun. The result (if you could see it through the thick clouds) would be an apparent noon-to-noon "day" of about 117 Earth days in length.So the Venus year (around the Sun) is about 1.92 apparent solar days on the planet.
Venus is slightly smaller and less dense than the Earth is, so it has lower surface gravity.
Earth rotates faster than Venus by about 141 days.
Solar day (24 hours for the Earth): about 116.75 Earth days. Sidereal day (rotation period, about 23 hours and 56 minutes for the Earth): about 243 Earth days. Year: about 224.7 Earth days.
Mercury and Venus. Venus is the planet which takes less then a year to orbit the sun, it takes 224.7 earth days.
