   Venus has an orbit with a semi-major axis of 0.723 au (108,200,000 km; 67,200,000 mi), and an eccentricity of 0.007. [1][2] The low eccentricity and comparatively small size of its orbit give Venus the least range in distance between perihelion and aphelion of the planets: 1.46 million km. The planet orbits the Sun once every 225 days [3] and ...

   Venus orbits the Sun from an average distance of 67 million miles (108 million kilometers), or 0.72 astronomical units. One astronomical unit (abbreviated as AU), is the distance from the Sun to Earth. From this distance, it takes sunlight about six minutes to travel from the Sun to Venus.

   Jul 30, 2024 · Rotation and Orbit. Day Length: A day on Venus (one full rotation) takes 243 Earth days. Interestingly, Venus rotates in the opposite direction of most planets, meaning the Sun rises in the west and sets in the east. Year Length: Venus completes one orbit around the Sun in 224.7 Earth days, making a Venusian day longer than its year.

   How long does it take to see the Sun on Venus?

   • For another, because of the planet's extremely slow rotation, sunrise to sunset would take 117 Earth days. And by the way, the Sun would rise in the west and set in the east, because Venus spins backward compared to Earth. While you’re waiting, don’t expect any seasonal relief from the unrelenting temperatures.

   How far is Venus from Earth?

   • When Venus lies between Earth and the Sun in inferior conjunction, it makes the closest approach to Earth of any planet at an average distance of 41 million km (25 million mi). [note 3] Because of the decreasing eccentricity of Earth's orbit, the minimum distances will become greater over tens of thousands of years.

   How often does Venus pass between Earth & Sun?

   • Venus Transits: Venus occasionally passes directly between Earth and the Sun, an event known as a transit. These transits occur in pairs eight years apart but are separated by over a century between pairs. The last pair of transits occurred in 2004 and 2012, with the next pair occurring in 2117 and 2125.

   Runaway Greenhouse. Venus’ thick atmosphere traps heat creating a runaway greenhouse effect – making it the hottest planet in our solar system with surface temperatures hot enough to melt lead. The greenhouse effect makes Venus roughly 700°F (390°C) hotter than it would be without a greenhouse effect. 07.
