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.
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.
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.
Venus takes 225 days to orbit once around the Sun. This makes one year on Venus less than one year on Earth.
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 !
Venus orbits the sun in approximately 225 Earth days. (224.70069 days)Strange as it may seem, Venus rotates so slowly that a "day" on Venus is longer than its year. It takes Venus about 243 Earth days to spin once on its axis. The slow rotation is also in a "retrograde" (clockwise) direction, from east to west.how long does it take for venus to orbit the sun
yes a year on Venus is less than 2 days
None. Venus has the longest rotation period of 243 days, less than a year.
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.
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 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.

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

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