A Day On One Planet Lasts Longer Than Its Own Year

Time behaves so strangely here it barely makes sense on paper.

Imagine a place where your birthday comes around before a single day has finished. That place is real.

On Venus, the planet spins so slowly that one full rotation takes ages.

Meanwhile it races around the Sun fairly quickly, finishing a whole orbit first.

The result is genuinely dizzying. A day on Venus is longer than a year on Venus.
