Venus takes 243 days to spin on its axis (0.615 years) relative to the background stars, while it takes 224.7 days to orbit the sun. Although its spin on its axis is longer that its orbital period, an apparent day is 116.75 days, since it spins in the other direction to Earth and most other planets.

What planet has the greatest similarity between the length of its day and the length of its year?

Venus. The "day" (rotation period or sidereal day) is longer than the year! Venus Sidereal day: 243 Earth days. Venus Year: 224.7 Earth days.


What is the rotation length in days?

Rotation of what? This question was in category "Venus" so maybe it's about Venus. For Venus it's 243 Earth days.


What is period of rotation and revolution of Venus?

Venus' period of rotation is 243 Earth days. Its period of revolution is 224. 7 Earth days. The revolution period is the length of a year in Earth days on Venus. This planet is a terrestrial planet.


Length of day and night for Venus?

the length of a day on Venus is 243 Earth days and a year on Venus is 225 Earth days!


What planet has a length of year greater than earth?

Venus has a length of year greater than Earth, taking about 225 Earth days to complete one orbit around the Sun. Despite its longer orbital period, a day on Venus (one full rotation on its axis) lasts about 243 Earth days, making its day longer than its year. This unique rotation and orbit result in Venus having a very different relationship between its day and year compared to Earth.


Why is a day on Venus so long?

The length of one day on Venus is the same as 243 Earth days. This is because Venus rotates backwards compared to the other planets in the solar system. A day on Venus is actually longer than a year on Venus.


What is Venus's rotation?

It takes it 243 Earth days for 1 rotation! That is longer than its year!


Venus year is 225 days long?

yes it is because it is closer to the sun but it day is actually 243 earth days and so its day is longer than its year.


What is the length of time for Venus to complete one rotation in earth days?

243 Earth days


How long does it take Venus to spin once on its own axis?

Venus takes about 243 Earth days to complete one rotation on its axis, which is longer than it takes to complete an orbit around the Sun. This slow rotation causes Venus to have a longer day than year.


The length of one year on Venus'?

One year on Venus is approximately 224.7 Earth days.


Which is longer on venus a sidereal day or year explain?

On Venus, a sidereal day (the time it takes for Venus to complete one rotation on its axis) is longer than a year (the time it takes to orbit the Sun). A sidereal day on Venus lasts about 243 Earth days, while a Venusian year is approximately 225 Earth days. This is due to Venus's slow rotation and its unique retrograde rotation, where it spins in the opposite direction to its orbit around the Sun. Consequently, a day on Venus exceeds its year in duration.
