How long does it take for Venus to orbit the Sun? Venus orbits the sun in approximately 225 Earth days. (224.70069 days) Strange as it may seem, Venus rotates so slowly that a day on Venus is longer than its year.
1 Whereas Earth rotates in about 24 hours Venus rotates in the contrary sense (retrograde rotation) in 243 days. 2  The orbital period of Venus is 225 days so that a Venus year takes less than a full day. The combination of these two periods results in the Sun appearing from the West and dissapearing over the East with a day-night cycle of 117 days. 2  The atmosphere of Venus is 90 times more dense than that on Earth and it is made of 96.5% of CO2 and a 3% of nitrogen.
