12. How long is one year and one day on Venus? (A K2S Question)

From The Space Library

Jump to: navigation, search

One year on Venus is 225 Earth days and one day on Venus is about 243 Earth days. That means that on Venus one day is slightly longer than one year. In other words, it takes longer for Venus to complete a single rotation on its axis than it does for Venus to complete one orbit around the Sun.
