If viewed from "above", from where you could see the earth's north pole and from where you would always see each planet half illuminated by the sun, all of the planets in our solar system revolve counterclockwise (anticlockwise).

If you view our solar system from ecliptic north what is the direction (clockwise or counterclockwise) of the orbit of Venus around the Sun Of the orbit of Earth around the Sun?

When viewed from ecliptic north, both Venus and Earth orbit the Sun in a counterclockwise direction. This counterclockwise motion is consistent for all planets in our solar system, as they all orbit the Sun in the same direction due to the initial angular momentum of the solar nebula from which they formed.

1 year on Venus?

One year on Venus is equivalent to about 225 Earth days. This is because Venus takes about 225 Earth days to orbit around the sun once. Additionally, Venus has a retrograde rotation, meaning it rotates on its axis in the opposite direction compared to most other planets.

Is the orbit of Mars closer to Earth than the orbit of Venus?

No. The orbit of Venus is closer to Earth's orbit than the orbit of Mars, by an average of 38 million kilometers (Venus 108 million km, Earth 150 million km, Mars 230 million km)Mars is only the closest planet to Earth when Venus is on the opposite side of the Sun from Earth and Mars is on the same side as Earth and Mars is not too far ahead or behind the Earth in their orbits.It can be as long as an entire Earth year that Mars is not closer, and it will only be closer for less than 4 months at a time.
