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.
Venus is the second-closest planet to the Sun; little Mercury is the only one closer, and our planet Earth is next-farther out. Venus orbits around the Sun in a very nearly circular path, about 3/4 as far from our star as the Earth is, and takes about 225 Earth days to complete one orbit. lt is almost exactly the same size and mass as the Earth, and like the Earth, it has a gaseous atmosphere. However, that's about the end of the similarities! (See the table Venus and Earth for a detailed comparison of the two planets' major characteristics and the Activity Corner for a way of bringing some of them to life for your students.)
