How does the length of a day on Venus compare with a length of its year?

Answer 1

The time for Venus to complete a full spin is about 243 Earth days. That period is called a "sidereal day".

Mercury's orbital period around the Sun (its year) is only about 88 days.

So, the day on Venus is longer than the year on Mercury.

(There's also another definition of "day", called a "solar day". For Venus that's about 117 Earth days long. So, for either sort of "day" the answer's the same.)

Answer 2

On the planet Mercury, a year (the length of time it takes for Mercury to orbit the Sun once) is just slightly less than 88 days. It takes 58.65 Earth Days (about two thirds of a Mercurial year) for Mercury to rotate once on its axis. This is called a 'sidereal' day. But because a Mercurial year is relatively short, and a Mercurial rotation takes so long, the combined effect of these two factors means that from one sunrise to the next takes 176 Earth days. If you were standing at certain points on Mercury's surface, you could watch the sun rise, then reverse itself and sink below the horizon again, before rising a second time, all during one 176-Earth-day Mercurial day.

Answer 3

There are about 225 Earth days in 1 year (time to orbit the Sun) on Venus.

A "sidereal day" for Venus (rotation time) is about 243 Earth days.

The "solar day" for Venus (based on the position of the Sun) is about 117

Earth days. This "day" depends on the orbital motion of a planet around the Sun, as well as its rotation time.

Answer 4

A year on Mercury (88 days) is longer than a day on Mercury (58 days).

Answer 5

shorter, it would be three years on earth!

Answer 6

The year (about 225 Earth days) is longer than the solar day (about 117 Earth

days).

Answer 7

its the length of your mom and shes pretty fat
