Venus: The Planet where a day lasts longer than a year

In a cosmic twist that defies Earthly norms, scientists have highlighted a fascinating fact about Venus: a day on the planet is actually longer than its entire year. 

While Earth spins on its axis once every 24 hours, Venus takes an astonishing 243 Earth days to complete a single rotation. In contrast, it only takes the planet 225 Earth days to orbit the Sun, meaning a full day on Venus outlasts its year.

This peculiar characteristic is due to Venus’s incredibly slow rotational speed, which has puzzled astronomers for years. 

As a result, a single day on the planet—measured as the time it takes for a 360-degree spin—is longer than the time Venus takes to complete a full orbit around the Sun.

The consequences of this slow spin aren’t limited to just timekeeping. 

Venus’s unique day-year ratio plays a major role in shaping the planet’s extreme weather conditions.

As scientists continue to study Venus, this mind-bending fact offers fresh insights into the diversity of planetary systems in our solar system and how different worlds can behave like cosmic anomalies.
