A planet's day is the time it takes the planet to rotate or spin once on its axis. Venus rotates much more slowly than Earth does, so a day on Venus is much longer than a day on Earth.A day on Venus lasts for 243 Earth days or 5,832 hours! A day on Earth is 23.943 hours.Venus also rotates backwards compared to the Earth and most of the other planets. 1  Javascript must be enabled to use Cool Cosmos.enus rotates much more slowly than Earth does, so a day on Venus is much longer than a day on Earth.

My question relates to travel times of the Galileo and Cassini space probes to the planets. My question is why did Galileo take so long (6 years) to reach Jupiter? It was launched in 1989 and reached Jupiter in 1995. Cassini was launched in 1997 and reached Saturn in 2004. That's 7 years travel time to Saturn -- why so long? Pioneer 10/11 only took a couple of years to reach Saturn as did Voyager 1/2- launched in 1977 reaching Saturn in 1980/81. So why did it take Cassini twice as long to get there?
