∙ 14y agoIt's rotation period represents an equilibrium state between gravitational tidal locking by the Sun that tends to slow the rotation rate, and an atmospheric tide created by the solar heating of Venus's thick atmosphere.

What planet has the slowest rotation time?
Venus. it take 243 Earth days to rotate once
What are some major characteristics of Venus?
Venus has 95 percent carbon dioxide in it's atmospheric composition therefore it has the strongest green house effect in the whole solar system. Venus shows Retrograde rotation. A sidereal year on Venus is shorter than a sidereal day on Venus. Venus's rotation is slowest in the whole solar system.
Which planet rotates most slowly about it axis?
You would think that the largest planet, Jupiter, would rotate the slowest (every 9 earth days and 15 minutes), but it is actually Venus that rotates the slowest at one rotation every 243 earth days.
What is the order of the planets rotation from fastest to slowest?
No
What inner planets rotate the slowest?
Both Venus and Mercury rotate very slowly on their axis compared to the other planets. Both Mars and Earth take around 24 hours (mars slightly longer) but Mercury takes 58.6 days for one rotation and Venus takes 243 days to make one rotation.
Who am i i have the slowest rotation of any planet?
Venus
What planet has the slowest period of rotation?
Venus at 224 days.
What planet has the slowest rate?
The Planet Venus has the slowest rotation rate because one day there is longer than the year on Venus or longer than its revolution around the sun.
What planet has the slowest rotation time?
Venus. it take 243 Earth days to rotate once
What planet rotates slower than the other planets?
I believe the rotation of Venus is slowest, within our Solar System.
What does venus do slower then all of the other planets?
It rotates on its axis in about 243 Earth days. That's the slowest rotation time.
What is Venus rotation?
The axis of Venus is tilted 177.3 degrees from the plane of the ecliptic. This means that Venus rotates clockwise, instead of counter-clockwise, as viewed from the direction of Polaris. Its period of rotation is -243 days, making it the slowest rotating planet in the Solar System.

What planet has the slowest rotation rate?
The velocity of a planet around the sun is inversely related to the distance from the sun. So the slowest planets are the ones farthest out. If you consider Pluto a planet, it takes the longest time to revolve around the sun. If you do not consider Pluto a planet, then Neptune would be the farthest planet from the sun and takes the longest time to revolve around the sun.
Which planet rotates the slowest?
Venus rotates once every 243 Earth days and thus is the slowest.
What is the order of the planets rotation from fastest to slowest?
No
