Venus is a planet, the second planet from the Sun, and is named after Venus, the Roman Goddess of love and beauty.
The planet has clouds made up of sulfuric acid that hide the planet's surface from view. It is not much to see, because the thick carbon dioxide atmosphere has given Venus a hellish surface temperature of 460°C (860°F) with an air pressure 90 times that of Earth. It is a desolate, waterless, rocky desert only visited by the sturdiest of robotic probes from Earth.
With its reflective clouds and its relative closeness to Earth and the Sun, Venus is the brightest planet in the night sky (that is why they call it the morning and evening star). It is sometimes called the Earth's "twin planet" because it began as a very similar body, about the same size as Earth.
a planet
it was know in ancient times that Venus passes between the Earth and the Sun, and Copernicus had a model which had the Sun at the centre, so in his model Venus was closer to the centre, thus an inferior planet by definition.

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.
