Venus is unusual in its extremely slow rotation, taking nearly 243 Earth days to spin once on its axis (243.02 Earth days or 5832.4 Earth hours). Additionally, and probably related to this, it spins east to west, in a clockwise or "retrograde" rotation.

The result is that Venus's "day" is shorter than its year (about 225 Earth days). The combination of the retrograde motion and its circling of the Sun means that someone on Venus's equator that might actually "see" the Sun would experience a solar day (sunrise to sunrise) of about 116.75 days (2802 Earth hours), with the Sun rising in the west.
