Venus rotates almost the same as it orbits the Sun, taking about 243 Earth days to complete one rotation on its axis, which is longer than its 225-day orbital period. This unique rotation makes a day on Venus longer than a year on Venus. Additionally, Venus has a retrograde rotation, meaning it spins in the opposite direction to its orbit around the Sun.
