How long is a month on venus in earth days?

Yes........and no. There are two definitions of "day". The 243 Earth days is the rotation period known as the sidereal day. However there is also the "solar day". This depends on a planet's orbital motion as well as its spin. That is only about 117 Earth days for 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.


What does -243 Earth days rotation of planet Venus mean?

It means that Venus rotates oncefor every243 days on Earth. The minus sign is to show that Venus rotates in the opposite direction from Earth. Venus rotates in aclockwise direction(seen from an imaginary placehigh above the Earth's north pole).


Why would a 11 year old be 17 days old on venus?

Obviously the person would still be 11 Earth years old. There are 2 main definitions of a "day" On Venus the values are: "Solar Day" about 117 Earth days. "Sidereal Day" about 243 Earth days. Using these numbers, the 11 year old would either be about 34.34 or 16.53 days old. So, the answer is "Yes" (nearly) if you mean the Sidereal day. This is the time taken for Venus to rotate once.


How long is Venus' day in earth time?

It depends what you mean by "day". Venus rotates in about 243 Earth days. This is called a sidereal day. So that's about 243 x 24 Earth hours. However the "solar day" on Venus is about 117 Earth days. So that's about 117 x 24 Earth hours. The solar day is 24 hours on Earth. It's how long the Sun takes to complete one journey through the sky from noon till noon. The Earth's rotation period is only about 4 minutes different from the solar day.

How long is one Venus week compared to Earth days?

One "sidereal day" (period of rotation) on Venus is 243 Earth days. So, if one Venus week is equal to 7 Venus days, that would be 1701 Earth days. Venus is sooooooo weird because I mean no sunlight for like lots of Earth days. I hate Venus. It is like so like totally weird.

What is the length of venues day?

I think you mean "Venus". That planet rotates in about 243 Earth days. That is one definition of a "day". It is called the "sidereal day". There is another definition called the "solar day", which takes into account the planet's motion around the Sun. For Venus this is about 117 Earth days long.
