If you were standing on the surface of Venus, which of the following would be true regarding your experience of a single day?
Correct
Venus is the ultimate rebel of the solar system, rotating in retrograde, which means it spins clockwise while most other planets spin counter-clockwise. This makes the sun appear to rise in the west and set in the east. Thinking a day is faster than an orbit is incorrect because Venus takes a grueling 243 Earth days to rotate once, while it only takes about 225 Earth days to orbit the sun, making a day longer than a year. Expecting extreme seasonal swings every six hours is a funny thought, but the thick atmosphere actually keeps temperatures pretty consistently hot all the time. As for spinning fast to shed some weight, Venus is actually the slowest rotator in the solar system, so you would definitely not be getting any centrifugal help!
