A year on Venus is how long it takes for the planet to fully orbit the sun once. A day is how long it takes the planet to completely rotate once, ie, turn all the way around. Venus rotates very slowly, and by the time it has turned one full circle, the planet has already gone all the way around the sun.

Venus year is 225 days long?

yes it is because it is closer to the sun but it day is actually 243 earth days and so its day is longer than its year.


Why is a day on Venus so long?

The length of one day on Venus is the same as 243 Earth days. This is because Venus rotates backwards compared to the other planets in the solar system. A day on Venus is actually longer than a year on Venus.


How many earth days is a year on Venus?

1 day on Venus is as long as one year on Earth. No seriously, that is true, it takes about one year for venus to make a complete rotation (i dont mean revolution, but rotation like spinning a basket ball.) Actually Venus rotates in about 243 Earth days and that's only about 8 months, not a year. One day on Venus is about 243 Earth days long. There are 24 hours in a day on Earth, 243 x 24=5832 hours. That's the rotation period, known as the "sidereal day". But it's more complicated than that because you're ignoring the "solar day". The solar day depends on a planet's motion round the Sun as well as its spin. For Venus the solar day is about 116.75 Earth days. That's about 116.75 x 24 = 2802 hours.


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 !


How many days are in a year on Venus?

There are 88 days in a venus year. That mens if you go to venus for a year and you are 12 when you leave you willl be 16 when you come back. Can you figure it out?

How long are the days on Venus compared to the days on Earth?

The Earth rotates in about 23 hours and 56 minutes. That's called the "sidereal day". The sidereal day on Venus is about 243 Earth days. As a year on Venus is only about 224.7 Earth days, this makes Venus' day longer than its year. Venus is the only planet in our Solar System to have this feature.

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.


How many Venus years are in a Venus day?

A Venus day (spin) is 1.08 times as long as a Venus year.The very slow rotational day of Venus is 243 Earth days long, while its year (one orbit of the Sun) is only about 225 Earth days. Combined with the retrograde direction of its spin, this produces a "solar day" (sunrise to sunrise) of about 116.75 Earth days.So in terms of rotation, there is only 0.925 days in a Venus year. In terms of daylight experienced on the surface, there are 1.92 Venus days per Venus year.


Which planets day is more than half as long as its year?

It's Mercury or Venus depending on whichthe definition of "day "you mean.


Which planet has a day more than half as long as a year?

Mercury's day is about 58.65 Earth days, and its year about 87.97. Venus has a day that is 243.0 Earth days long, while its year is only 224.7.


What planet has a day half as long as its year?

That's Mercury: "sidereal day" is more than half its year. Or, it could be Venus: "solar day" is just over half its year.

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.
