I want to start by correcting you. First off a year on Venus is not less than two days. In fact a year on Venus is 224.7days. However, the reason it is so much shorter than earth is purely based on it's location. The further a planet is from the sun, the larger it's orbit is. The larger the orbit, the longer the year. That is why Venus has a short year. It has a smaller orbit around the Sun.

This answer still needs improving. So here goes.

A year on Venus IS less than 2 VENUS days,but not less than 2 EARTH

days of course. There are two main definitions of a "day" in astronomy, but

either way the Venus year is less than 2 Venus days.

Does venus have less days than earth?

A year on Venus is shorter than a year on Earth, but a "day" on Venus is much longer than a day on Earth. I'm not sure exactly what you were trying to ask, but that should about cover it.

Mercury and Venus. Venus is the planet which takes less then a year to orbit the sun, it takes 224.7 earth days.


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.


Is a year on Venus more or less than two days?

The Venus year is less than 2 Venus days.Because Venus rotates very slowly clockwise, the opposite direction of most planets, the "day" on Venus is caused by its orbit of the Sun. It takes Venus 243 Earth days to turn once on its axis, but only 225 Earth days to circle the Sun. The result (if you could see it through the thick clouds) would be an apparent noon-to-noon "day" of about 117 Earth days in length.So the Venus year (around the Sun) is about 1.92 apparent solar days on the planet.


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 is the Orbital period on Venus?

Venus takes 225 days to orbit once around the Sun. This makes one year on Venus less than one year on Earth.


Is the solar year of Venus equal to or longer than the solar year of Mars?

The solar year of Venus should be shorter than the solar year of Mars because Venus is closer to the sun, so its rotation around the sun should take less time than a full rotation of the Sun for Mars. Also a solar year for Venus is 224.7 Earth days and a solar year for Mars is about 687 Earth days.


Which planets takes less than a year to orbit the sun?

Venus and Mercury


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 !


Which planet has a shorter year than Earth's year Venus Mars or Jupiter?

Venus. It has a year of about 225 of our days. Mars is about 687 days and Jupiter is 11.86 of our years.
