A month on Venus, which is the time it takes for the planet to complete one rotation on its axis (about 243 Earth days), is longer than a decade on Venus, which is defined by its orbital period around the Sun (about 225 Earth days). This unusual situation arises because Venus has a very slow and retrograde rotation, meaning it spins in the opposite direction to its orbit. Consequently, while it takes longer to rotate once on its axis than to orbit the Sun, a single day on Venus (one rotation) exceeds the time it takes for a year (one orbit) by a significant margin.

Which planets take longer then earth to complete one rotation?

Venus takes longer than Earth to complete one rotation on its axis. A day on Venus is longer than a year on Venus, as it rotates very slowly clockwise. Mercury also takes longer than Earth to complete one rotation due to its slow spin.


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.
