Which Planet has a Longer Day than its Year?

Venus spins so slowly on its axis that one day on the planet lasts 243 earth days. Because it is closer to the sun than earth the planet has a 225-day year. It means on Venus you would see just two sunrises a year. For more information about Venus you can watch this fascinating documentary – Venus Death of a Planet.

Writing Model

Outline the 4-step writing model to change readers minds in a specific readership community.

  1. Open with a problem the readership care about.
  2. Reinforce how the problem causes instability in the readership community.
  3. Cost / benefit. Discuss how the problem imposes a cost on readers but reveal how there is a benefit to resolving it.
  4. Pose and argue the solution.

Amorphous (adj)

Amorphous: Without a clearly defined shape or form or lacking a clear structure or focus.

    Very interesting. Only two sunrises a year. Dreadful.

  2. Seeing two sunrises in a year sounds like the weather we’ve been getting.
