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.

Venus takes 224.7 Earth days to travel around the sun. It makes its closest approach to Earth about once every 584 days, when the planets catch up to one another. On average, it is 25 million miles (40 million km) away at this point, though it can reach as close as 24 million miles (38 million km).enus isn't the brightest planet in the sky because it is the closest to the sun; Mercury bears that honor. But unlike Mercury, Venus has a thick, cloudy atmosphere that reflects the light better than Mercury's rocky surface (it also keeps the planet piping hot).
