Venus has a unique rotation where one full spin on its axis takes approximately 243 Earth days, while its complete orbit around the Sun takes only about 225 Earth days, making a single day on Venus longer than its entire year; additionally, Venus rotates in the opposite direction to most planets, causing the Sun to rise in the west and set in the east for observers on its surface.
