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.
