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.

Why is a year on Venus less than two 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.

Venus' day is longer than its year. It takes approximately 243 Earth days for Venus to complete one rotation on its axis, while it takes about 225 Earth days for Venus to orbit the Sun. This results in Venus having a day that is about 18 Earth days shorter than its year.
