What is the rotation of venus?

Rotational Period: Unlike most other planets in the Solar System, which rotate on their axes in an counter-clockwise direction, Venus rotates clockwise (called “retrograde” rotation). It also rotates very slowly, taking 243.025 Earth days to complete a single rotation. read more

When discussing Venus’ rotation, it is important to note certain distinctions. Rotation is the time it takes for a planet to spin once on its axis. This is different from a planet’s revolution, which is the time it takes for a planet to orbit around another object (i.e. the Sun). read more

Venus goes in a clockwise retrograde rotation. The current rotation period of Venus is a state of equilibrium between the gravitational tides locking made by the Sun. This lessens the rotation rate as well as an atmospheric tide made by the heating of Venus’ atmosphere. read more

Venus is an average of 67 million miles away from the sun during its revolution. It has a perihelion of 66.6 million miles and aphelion of 67.5 million miles. A full rotation on Venus is longer than its revolution by 18 Earth days. read more
