With respect to the Sun, it takes 24 hours (just about). With respect to the distant stars, it's slightly less... about six minutes less, which over the course of a year adds up to 1 full day.

How many hours make a day on Venus?

This question is meaningless. An Earth day would be the same length no matter what planet you are on. An Earth day would be the equivalent of 0.004 Venus days and about the same number of Venus year (it takes a whole year for Venus to go round its orbit). A Venus day is 243 Earth days. That's 243 Earth days to rotate once. Astronomers call this a sidereal day. However there is also the solar day of 117 Earth days.


How many times does the earth make complete rotations in a 2 week period?

Answer #1:It takes just under 24 hours for the Earth to rotate once on its axis.So in a two-week period (14 days)it would be 14 complete rotations.================================Answer #2:It takes 23.9344696 hours (rounded) for the Earth to rotate on its axis.Two weeks means 14 days of 24 hours each. So in a period of two weeks,the earth makes 14.038331 complete rotations. None of this has anythingto do with the number of days in a year.To put it another way, the Earth completes 14 rotations about 55minutes 3secondsbefore the two weeks has ended. That's why two weeks from today, any starwill reach the same place in the sky about an hour earlier than it gets there tonight.
