[00:00:00]On Venus, [music] a single day lasts longer than a year.

[00:00:04]Venus rotates incredibly slowly. It takes about 243 [music] Earth days to complete one full rotation.

[00:00:13]But Venus [music] orbits the Sun in only 225 Earth days.

[00:00:18]That means the planet finishes an entire year before it [music] even completes one day.

[00:00:24]And somehow, Venus also rotates backward compared to most planets in our solar system.

[00:00:31]Scientists still aren't completely sure why.

[00:00:35]Venus is one of the closest planets to Earth.

[00:00:38]Yet it behaves unlike anywhere else we know.
