How many hours are in a day on Venus?

Answer 1

It takes about 243 Earth days for Venus to rotate once. That's called a "sidereal day". But, if there were anyone there to notice, they would see that the Sun (they couldn't SEE it, but they might be able to detect it) rises in the West and sets in the East.

The "solar day" on Venus is only about 117 Earth days. This "day" is based on the position of the Sun and depends on orbital motion as well as rotation.

Answer 2

Unlike Earth, the "day" (rotation period) on Venus is very different from the observed day.

Venus is unusual in its extremely slow rotation, taking nearly 243 Earth days to spin once on its axis (243.02 Earth days or 5832.4 Earth hours). Additionally, and probably related to this, it spins from east to west, in a clockwise or "retrograde" rotation.

The result is that Venus's "day" is longer than its year (about 225 Earth days). However, the combination of the retrograde motion and its circling of the Sun means that someone on Venus would experience a solar day (sunrise to sunrise) of about 116.75 Earth days, with the Sun rising in the west. Of course, this would be invisible to anyone on the surface due to the thick clouds.
Venus' lenght of day is longer than the year; 243 Earth days, while the length of year is 224.7 Earth days, which I think is really weird and random.
243 earth days
About 57 hours.

Answer 3

The concept of a 24 hour day cannot be extended to Venus or Mercury as it is to Earth and Mars. On Earth, there is only a tiny difference between rotational time and solar time. On Venus, the difference between the sidereal day (243 Earth days) and the solar day (117 Earth days) makes clock times meaningless.

A rotational day on Venus takes about 5832 Earth hours. A sunrise-to-sunrise day takes about 2802 Earth hours. Using either to design a clock would not be practical. Even the defining characteristic of day and night are not important because radar is used to observe the surface beneath the clouds. There is also virtually no difference between day and night temperatures on the surface.

One concept that is used for time on Venus is the longitudinal noon, which establishes 360 divisions of rotational time to the 1.92 solar days that exist during the Venusian year (225 Earth days). Of course, the Sun would never actually be visible on the surface.

Answer 4

243 earth days.

0.615earth years.

That's the time of one rotation, called the sidereal day.

There is another "day" called the solar day.This is about 117 Earth days.

The solar day depends not only on the rotation of a planet,but also on

it's movement around the Sun in its orbit.

On Earth we hardly notice the difference between our two "days" as

they only differ by about 4 minutes.

Answer 5

Venus year is about 224.7 Earth days. 224.7 x 24 = 5392.8

So the answer is: about 5393 hours.

Answer 6

well to keep it simple and educated about 800 but my hopothisis could be wrong

Answer 7

Solar day is about 117 Earth days.

Sidereal day is about 243 Earth days

In hours that's: Solar day 117 x 24

Sidereal day 243 x 24

Answer 8

as long as it has to be why do you care

Answer 9

There are 224.7 hours.

Answer 10

5,832 earth hours
