0:00 On Venus a day is longer than a year.
0:02 The planet spins so slowly that a single
0:04 rotation takes about two hundred forty-three
0:07 Earth days,
0:07 while one trip around the Sun takes only two
0:10 hundred twenty-five.
0:11 Venus also spins backwards,
0:12 so from its surface the Sun rises in the west
0:15 and sets in the east.
