Due to an event early in its history, the planet Venus turns clockwise rather than counter-clockwise like the other planets, and it turns very slowly. It takes 243 earth days to make one rotation, which is longer than it takes to travel around the Sun (about 225 Earth days).
The combination of these motions, however, produces a "solar day" (sunrise to sunrise, if you could see it) of about 116.75 Earth days. That gives any point on Venus a "daytime" of about 58 days, and a very dark but still hot "nighttime" of 58 earth days. (The planet's dense atmosphere distributes the solar heat.)
