What is unique about the rotation of Venus?

Venus rotates clockwise while most other planets in the Solar System rotate counter-clockwise. Astronomers speculate that this is because the planet's tidal effects in its dense atmosphere could've reversed its rotation billions of years ago. The only other planet in the Solar System that rotates unusually is Uranus.


What are two reasons the period of Venus is shorter than the period of Earth?

Which period - revolutionary period or rotational period? Obviously it's the time taken to orbit the Sun that's meant because the time Venus takes to rotate is much LONGER than Earth. Two reasons are: 1) Venus has a shorter orbital distance to travel. 2) Venus orbits at a higher speed.


1 day on Venus is equal to how many earth days?

It takes about 243 days for Venus to rotate once. This is called a sidereal day. However Venus has a "solar day" of about 117 Earth days. The solar day is how long the Sun takes to move across the sky from noon to noon. This depends not just on the spin of a planet ,but also on it's journey round the Sun.


How many earth days is a year on Venus?

1 day on Venus is as long as one year on Earth. No seriously, that is true, it takes about one year for venus to make a complete rotation (i dont mean revolution, but rotation like spinning a basket ball.) Actually Venus rotates in about 243 Earth days and that's only about 8 months, not a year. One day on Venus is about 243 Earth days long. There are 24 hours in a day on Earth, 243 x 24=5832 hours. That's the rotation period, known as the "sidereal day". But it's more complicated than that because you're ignoring the "solar day". The solar day depends on a planet's motion round the Sun as well as its spin. For Venus the solar day is about 116.75 Earth days. That's about 116.75 x 24 = 2802 hours.


How will you get the disk rotation time?

Disk rotation time can be calculated using the formula: Rotation time = (1 / RPM) * 60 seconds. RPM stands for revolutions per minute, which indicates how many times the disk spins in one minute. By taking the reciprocal of the RPM and multiplying it by 60 seconds, you can determine the time it takes for one complete rotation of the disk.

How long did it take for the flag to rotate once in a full circle?

The time it takes for a flag to rotate once in a full circle depends on the speed of rotation. If the flag rotates at a constant speed, the time can be calculated using the formula: time = 1 / rotational speed. For example, if the flag takes 10 seconds to complete one full rotation, the rotational speed is 1 rotation per 10 seconds, so the time taken for one full rotation is 10 seconds.


Is Venus in a orbit with another solar body?

No. But given time - a long time - it is likely that Venus will have a 1:1 orbital resonance with the Sun.


How do you calculate number of rotation in Circular motion?

f=1/T where f is the frequency and T is the time for one rotation... Example.. If the time for one rotation = 2s then frequency =0.5Hz (1/2) therefore... the number of rotation in one minute = 60x0.5=30 in 1 second = 1x0.5=0.5

Does venus have a year shorter than its days?

if by that do you mean that its orbit has less days than its rotation then the answer is yes 1 orbit = 224 days 16.8 hours 1 rotation 243 days 0.5 hours check related link for more info
