The sidereal rotation period of Venus is a very long 243.0185 Earth days. That means it takes a bit over 243 Earth days to rotate once on its axis (a Venus sidereal "day"). It gives new meaning to the expression, "It's been a long day."

The rotational velocity at the equator is a blazing 6.52 kilometers per hour (a bit over 4 miles per hour). You can walk that fast if you step out and don't drag your feet. A link can be found below.
