Best Answer

Venus.

Its day is -243.0185 Earth days long. The "minus" means it rotates in the direction opposite to the Earth and all the other planets (except Uranus).

Another viewpoint: That's the time to spin once, called the "sidereal day".

The "solar day" is defined in a different way and is only about 116.75 Earth days long for Venus.

On that definition, it is Mercury that has the longest day (about 176 Earth days.)
