It rotates in the opposite direction the other planets rotate.
This statement is commonly used to describe the rotation and revolution of a planet. For example, Mercury's day (one rotation) is longer than its year (one revolution around the sun) due to its slow rotation and fast orbit.
Rotation of what? This question was in category "Venus" so maybe it's about Venus. For Venus it's 243 Earth days.
224.7 Earth Day
"Rotation" is when a planet or moon turns all the way around or spins on its axis one time. A "revolution" around the Sun takes about 365 days for Earth. Venus' revolution period is about225 Earth days. So, it takes Venus about 225 Earth days to "revolve around the Sun".
well, it just so happens I've done research in this type of stuff in school, and i can remember, and tell you that the 2 planets that have the closest period of rotation are Jupiter and Saturn.
The velocity of a planet around the sun is inversely related to the distance from the sun. So the slowest planets are the ones farthest out. If you consider Pluto a planet, it takes the longest time to revolve around the sun. If you do not consider Pluto a planet, then Neptune would be the farthest planet from the sun and takes the longest time to revolve around the sun.
Simple answer: Venus has "retrograde" rotation.A more complicated answer. Venus rotates in the opposite direction compared with Earth and most other planets in our solar system. The Earth's rotation is "prograde". It rotates in the counterclockwise direction, when viewed from above the North Pole.However it is possible to define the "North Pole" of Venus in two different ways.It can be said that, on one definition, Venus also rotates in the direction that'scounterclockwise as viewed from above its North Pole.Still, nearly always, you will find the rotation referred to as "retrograde", so the simple answer is OK.Anyway, Venus definitely rotates in a direction that's opposite to its direction of orbital revolution.
The moon is tidally locked to the earth, so it's rotation and revolution are the same. About 29 days.
scientist believe that neptunes nickname is "gas giant'' because of all the gas and rocks the neptune has
The 'poles' are the ends of the axis of rotation. So anything that rotates has a pair of them.
The Moon always keeps the same side facing Earth so its rotation period is the same as its period of revolution around the Earth. These periods are both about 27.3 Earth days.
We cannot be sure of what factors caused the atmosphere of Venus to be so thick and corrosive and hot. Certainly, being much closer to the Sun contributes to the heat, but Venus is even hotter than Mercury! Venus has a very slow rotation; in fact, the "day" is longer than the "year"! Finally, Venus has no moon, and some scientists speculate that Earth's large Moon has had an effect of skimming the upper layers of the atmosphere away, or that the tidal forces have stirred the atmosphere. So we really can't guess how Venus might have developed if it had a faster rotation.
