Instead of a similar rotational period to Earth's 24 hours, Venus takes 243 Earth days to rotate once. That's called a "sidereal day". In other words, a "day" on Venus is longer than its "year". This is the longest day in the entire Solar System.
(Don't forget the "solar day" though. That's only about 117 Earth days on Venus.)
One day on Venus is equivalent to approximately 243 Earth days. Venus is the only planet in our solar system to rotate clockwise, and the length of its day is longer than the length of its year - 224.7 Earth days.
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.
243 Earth days is the rotation period of Venus. That's its "sidereal day" length.
The other main definition of a "day" is called a "solar day".
For Venus that's only about 117 Earth days in length.
A venusian day is 243 earth days. That is longer than there year which is 224.7 earth days!
About 243 Earth days for the sidereal day and about 117 Earth days for the
solar day.

1 day on Venus is as long as one year on Earth. No seriously, that is true, it takes about one year for venus to make a complete rotation (i dont mean revolution, but rotation like spinning a basket ball.) Actually Venus rotates in about 243 Earth days and that's only about 8 months, not a year. One day on Venus is about 243 Earth days long. There are 24 hours in a day on Earth, 243 x 24=5832 hours. That's the rotation period, known as the "sidereal day". But it's more complicated than that because you're ignoring the "solar day". The solar day depends on a planet's motion round the Sun as well as its spin. For Venus the solar day is about 116.75 Earth days. That's about 116.75 x 24 = 2802 hours.
The rotation period of Venus is equal to 243.02 Earth days. In other words, one "day" (a "sidereal day" to be precise) on Venus is equal to about 243 Earth days. A sidereal day is the rotation period relative to the distant stars. It's often confused with the "solar day" which is based on the position of the Sun. The solar day for Venus is only about 117 Earth days. For Earth there is hardly any difference in the lengths of the two days . So people usually just say an "Earth day" for either.
One day (or one rotation around its axis) takes 1407.6 Earth hours.
Venusâ??s rotation is very slow and retrograde. This means that one Venus day is the equivalent of 243 Earth days. Venus is also covered in lava flows.
116.75 Earth days.
The rotation period of Venus is equal to about 243.02 Earth days.
232 days
Venus, which rotates backwards in comparison to Earth, takes 243 days to make a full rotation on its axis.
224.7 Earth Day
It takes about 243 days in (rotation) in an earth day to cover venus.
It takes Venus about 243 days to rotate once on its axis. This makes one day of Venus equal to 243 days on Earth.

A Venus day (spin) is 1.08 times as long as a Venus year.The very slow rotational day of Venus is 243 Earth days long, while its year (one orbit of the Sun) is only about 225 Earth days. Combined with the retrograde direction of its spin, this produces a "solar day" (sunrise to sunrise) of about 116.75 Earth days.So in terms of rotation, there is only 0.925 days in a Venus year. In terms of daylight experienced on the surface, there are 1.92 Venus days per Venus year.
One "sidereal day" (period of rotation) on Venus is 243 Earth days. So, if one Venus week is equal to 7 Venus days, that would be 1701 Earth days. Venus is sooooooo weird because I mean no sunlight for like lots of Earth days. I hate Venus. It is like so like totally weird.
One day (or one rotation around its axis) takes 1407.6 Earth hours.
