Apr 28, 2022 · Venus' dense and stormy atmosphere is the cause why a day on the scorching planet is longer than a year, a new study suggest.
Nov 8, 2024 · It takes 225 Earth days for Venus to go all the way around the Sun. That means that a day on Venus is a little longer than a year on Venus. Since the day and year lengths are similar, one day on Venus is not like a day on Earth. Here, the Sun rises and sets once each day.
For one thing, your “day” would be 243 Earth days long – longer even than a Venus year (one trip around the Sun), which takes only 225 Earth days. For another, because of the planet's extremely slow rotation, sunrise to sunset would take 117 Earth days.
Feb 7, 2017 · Combined with its orbital period, the time it takes for the Sun to return to the same point in the sky works out to 116.75 Earth days, which is little more than a half a Venusian (or...

Jan 6, 2020 · On Venus, a day lasts about 243 Earth-days. That’s longer than it takes the planet to complete an orbit around the Sun. So, a Venusian year actually spans just 225 Earth-days. The clouds...
May 4, 2021 · The study found that a single Venusian rotation takes 243.0226 Earth days. That means a day lasts longer than a year on Venus, which makes a complete orbit around the sun in 225 Earth...
May 5, 2021 · We knew the Venus-day was exceedingly long, but now we know that the length of a day on Venus regularly changes in length! Scientists have used radio waves to precisely measure Venus'...
Apr 29, 2021 · By repeatedly bouncing radar off the planet’s surface over the last 15 years, a UCLA-led team has pinned down the precise length of a day on Venus, the tilt of its axis and the size of its core. The findings are published today in the journal Nature Astronomy.
May 7, 2021 · Why is a day on Venus longer than a year? The atmosphere may be to blame. To crack these continuing mysteries, Margot and his colleagues turned to two powerful radar facilities: NASA's...
