FUN FACT:
The planet Venus has a rotation period of 243 Earth days and it orbits the Sun every 225 Earth days. Venus takes longer to rotate about its axis than any other planet in the Solar System.
One day on planet Venus is longer than one year.

Venus rotates differently too...the sun rises in the west and sets in the east.

Let's clear this up! In 1 Venusian year there are 1.92 Venus Solar days – a Solar day is the time taken to rotate relative to Sun (it's the common meaning of "day"). A day on Venus is only longer than its year for a Venus Sidereal day – time taken to rotate relative to the stars:

To be exacte ;)
A sidereal day (time to find in the same position stars in the sky) on Venus : 243.025 days (on Earth 23h56min)
A solar day (time between two sunrises) on Venus 116.75 Earth days (on Earth 24h)

So you can say Happy New Year every 225 days, but "good morning" every 243 days ;)

That's interesting. Why it is spinning slowly? Since it is closer to the Sun it moves faster and so 1 yr in Venus is less.
But that means it exposes one region per time towards sun is more. So that means more heat. Therefore Venus is more hotter + CO2 atmosphere.
