Detailed explanation-1: -Venus: Its atmosphere is approximately 92 times dense than that of Earth. It takes 243.025 Earth days to rotate around its axis 224.65 Earth days to revolve around the sun. Making it the only planet whose period of rotation is longer than the period of revolution around the sun.
Detailed explanation-2: -It was already known that Venus has the longest day-the time the planet takes for a single rotation on its axis-of any planet in our solar system, though there were discrepancies among previous estimates.
Detailed explanation-3: -Because it’s so close to the Sun, a year goes by fast. 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.
Detailed explanation-4: -Compared to Earth, Venus twirls at a leisurely pace on its axis, with its surface taking 243 Earth days to complete one rotation. However, the hot, deadly atmosphere of Venus spins nearly 60 times faster than its surface, whirling around the planet once every 96 hours, an effect known as super-rotation.
