Venus takes 224.7 Earth days to revolve about the Sun and 243.02 Earth days to rotate about its axis (which it does clockwise, opposite to most of the other planets). This rotation period is a "sidereal day", the time to revolve around the Sun is a Venus "year".

Mercury takes 88 Earth days to go around the Sun, so its year is 88 Earth days. It spins slowly, taking 58.6 Earth days. A "solar day" on Mercury takes 176 Earth days because of this slow spin relative to the time taken to orbit.

So Venus has a sidereal day longer than its year and Mercury has a solar day

longer than its year.

Venus "sidereal day" is longer than its year. Mercury's "solar day" is longer than its year. However, there is no planet in our solar system with a day longer than our year on Earth.

Can a planets day be longer than a planets year?

No, a planet's day cannot be longer than its year. A day is defined as the time it takes for a planet to complete one full rotation on its axis, while a year is the time it takes for the planet to complete one orbit around its star. A planet's year is always longer than its day.


A day is longer than a year on this planet?

On this planet, a day is longer than a year because the planet has a very slow rotation on its axis. This means it takes longer for the planet to complete one full rotation (a day) than it does to complete one orbit around its star (a year).


Can a planets day be longer then its year?

Yes, it is possible for a planet's day to be longer than its year. This situation can occur when a planet rotates very slowly on its axis compared to the time it takes to orbit around its star. Venus is an example of a planet with a longer day (243 Earth days) than its year (225 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.

What planet is a day is longer than a year on this planet.?

Venus is the planet where a day is longer than a year. It takes about 243 Earth days to complete one rotation on its axis (a day) but only about 225 Earth days to orbit the Sun (a year). This unique characteristic makes its rotational period longer than its orbital period.
