A single day on Venus is longer than an entire year on Venus—and the Sun rises in the west and sets in the east. Here’s why that’s wild: • Venus takes 243 Earth days to rotate once on its axis (one day). • But it only takes 225 Earth days to orbit the Sun (one year). • On top of that, Venus spins backward (retrograde rotation), opposite to most planets. So if you stood on Venus: • Your birthday would come before the next sunrise 🌅 • The Sun would crawl across the sky in reverse • And that one “day” would feel almost eternal Scientists think this bizarre behavior may be the result of a catastrophic ancient collision that literally knocked the planet into spinning the wrong way.
