A day on Venus is longer than a year on Venus!

I found this mind-boggling fact: a day on Venus (how long it takes to spin on its axis) is actually longer than a year on Venus (how long it takes to orbit the sun)! It takes about 243 Earth days for Venus to rotate once but only about 225 Earth days to complete its orbit. Can you imagine what life on Venus must be like? Anyone else know of other weird planetary facts like this?

Wow, that’s wild! Imagine a day lasting longer than a year. Life on Venus would be so confusing with such long "days"! Another cool planetary fact: Did you know Jupiter has a storm called the Great Red Spot that’s been raging for over 300 years? Talk about extreme weather! Anyone else got some fascinating space trivia to share?

Hi all! Whoa, I think that’s mind-blowing! A whole year flying by while one day drags on? Venus really knows how to keep things interesting!
