On Venus the sun rises in the west and sets in the east almost a Venusian year later.

What planet has its years longer than its day?

Venus has a year that is longer than its day. A day on Venus is equivalent to 243 Earth days, while a year (orbital period around the Sun) on Venus is about 225 Earth days.


Seven Venus days equal how many Earth years?

One Venus day equals 243 Earth days. Seven Venus days equals 1701 Earth days, or 4.66 Earth years. 243 days is the Sidereal day length,but remember Venus has a Solar day of only 117 Earth days.


What planet have years longer than its days?

Earth, unless you meant days longer than years. In which case, that would be Venus.

How many years on earth is 1 year on venus?

A year on Venus is 224 Earth days and a day is 243 Earth days. This answer isn't bad, but remember the Solar day is "only" about 117 Earth days on Venus. I like the Solar day. It takes Venus about 243 Earth days to rotate once and that's what is called a Sidereal day.


How long are venus's days and years?

One interesting fact about Venus is that a day on Venus is actually longer than a year on Venus. A Venusian day lasts 243 days, and a year is 224 days. That means that the day on Venus is 19 days longer than the year.

The "Solar day" on Venus. Or, the "Sidereal day" on Mercury.


How many Venus years are in a Venus day?

A Venus day (spin) is 1.08 times as long as a Venus year.The very slow rotational day of Venus is 243 Earth days long, while its year (one orbit of the Sun) is only about 225 Earth days. Combined with the retrograde direction of its spin, this produces a "solar day" (sunrise to sunrise) of about 116.75 Earth days.So in terms of rotation, there is only 0.925 days in a Venus year. In terms of daylight experienced on the surface, there are 1.92 Venus days per Venus year.


Length of a day on Venus?

See answer given for length of Venus day in hours.


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.


Strange but true facts about Venus's?

Venus is the hottest planet in our solar system, with surface temperatures reaching up to 900 degrees Fahrenheit due to its thick carbon dioxide atmosphere that traps heat. A day on Venus is longer than a year on Venus, with a day lasting about 243 Earth days and a year (orbital period) taking around 225 Earth days. Venus spins in the opposite direction to most planets in our solar system, a phenomenon known as retrograde rotation. This means the Sun rises in the west and sets in the east on Venus.


How many earth days will make a venus day?

There are 243 Earth days for a Venus day - but a Venus year is just under 225 Earth days. Therefore - a day on Venus is longer than a year !
