Venus is the planet that has a day longer than its year. A day on Venus, which is one full rotation on its axis, takes about 243 Earth days. Meanwhile, it completes an orbit around the Sun in about 225 Earth days. This peculiar rotation means that a day on Venus actually exceeds the length of its year. Interestingly, Venus rotates in the opposite direction to most planets in the solar system, resulting in a unique cycle of day and night. This distinctive characteristic makes Venus a fascinating subject of study in planetary science.
