   Nov 8, 2024 · On Mercury a day lasts 1,408 hours, and on Venus it lasts 5,832 hours. On Earth and Mars it’s very similar. Earth takes 24 hours to complete one spin, and Mars takes 25 hours. The gas giants rotate really fast. Jupiter takes just 10 hours to complete one rotation. Saturn takes 11 hours, Uranus takes 17 hours, and Neptune takes 16 hours.

   For one thing, your “day” would be 243 Earth days long – longer even than a Venus year (one trip around the Sun), which takes only 225 Earth days. For another, because of the planet's extremely slow rotation, sunrise to sunset would take 117 Earth days.

   • Mercury. The planet Mercury takes 58.6 Earth days to spin once on its axis. That may seem long, but think about this: its year is only 88 Earth days long!
   • Venus. Planet Venus spins so slowly on its axis that one day on the planet lasts nearly 243 Earth days. Because it's closer to the Sun than Earth is, the planet has a 225-day year.
   • Mars. At 24 hours and 37 minutes, the Mars day length is very similar to Earth's, which is one of the reasons that Mars is often thought of as something of a twin to Earth.
   • Jupiter. When it comes to gas giant worlds, "day length" is a more difficult thing to determine. The outer worlds don't have solid surfaces, although they do have solid cores covered with huge layers of clouds and layers of liquid metallic hydrogen and helium beneath the clouds.

   Aug 9, 2024 · Venus takes 243 Earth days to rotate on its axis, but only 225 Earth days to orbit around the Sun, meaning its day is longer than its year. In fact, sunrise to sunset would take 117 Earth days. In addition to its slow rotation, Venus spins backward compared to Earth meaning the Sun rises in the West and sets in the East.

   How long is a day on Venus compared to a year?

   • It takes 225 Earth days for Venus to go all the way around the Sun. That means that a day on Venus is a little longer than a year on Venus. Since the day and year lengths are similar, one day on Venus is not like a day on Earth. Here, the Sun rises and sets once each day. But on Venus, the Sun rises every 117 Earth days.

   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 long does a day last on other planets?

   • We can write a paragraph about how long days last on other planets. On Mercury a day lasts 1,408 hours, and on Venus it lasts 5,832 hours. On Earth and Mars it’s very similar. Earth takes 24 hours to complete one spin, and Mars takes 25 hours. The gas giants rotate really fast. Jupiter takes just 10 hours to complete one rotation.

   How often does the sun rise on Venus?

   • But on Venus, the Sun rises every 117 Earth days. That means the Sun rises two times during each year on Venus, even though it is still the same day on Venus! And because Venus rotates backwards, the Sun rises in the west and sets in the east. Just like Mercury, Venus doesn't have any moons. Venus is the hottest planet in our solar system.
