   Sep 1, 2019 · This means that Venus rotates in a retrograde direction from east to west, making the Sun rise in the west and set in the east. Further to this the rotation is very slow: a sidereal day on Venus lasts 243 Earth days. This is even longer than a Venusian year which is only 224.7 Earth days.
