On Venus, a day lasts longer than a year. How? is it possible?
Remember, One day is the time it takes for a planet to go around itself, what we call rotation. While a year is a time a planet takes to go around the Sun, which we call translation.
Since Venus is closer to the Sun, it takes only 225 days to go around it. But complete a rotation in 243 days.
That is, it takes longer to complete a turn on itself than to go around the Sun, which is why on Venus, a day lasts longer than a year.
