all the planets in the solar system orbit the sun in a anticlockwise direction as viewed from above earth's north pole. most planets also rotate on their axes in an anti-clockwise direction, but venus rotates clockwise in retrograde rotation once every 243 earth days—the slowest rotation of any planet. because its rotation is so slow, venus is very close to spherical. a venusian sidereal day thus lasts longer than a venusian year (243 versus 224.7 earth days). venus's equator rotates at , whereas earth's rotates at . venus's rotation has slowed down in the 16 years between the "magellan" spacecraft and "venus express" visits; each venusian sidereal day has increased by 6.5 minutes in that time span. because of the retrograde rotation, the length of a solar day on venus is significantly shorter than the sidereal day, at 116.75 earth days (making the venusian solar day shorter than mercury's 176 earth days). one venusian year is about 1.92 venusian solar days. to an observer on the surface of venus, the sun would rise in the west and set in the east, although venus's opaque clouds prevent observing the sun from the planet's surface.
