    A day on Venus is longer than a year.

    Earth takes 24 hours to fully rotate on its axis. We call this a day. Earth takes 365.25 days to orbit the Sun. We call this a year.

    Venus rotates on its axis a lot slower than Earth. It takes 243 Earth days to fully rotate on its axis, so a day on Venus is 243 Earth days. Venus orbits the Sun faster than Earth does. It takes 225 Earth days to orbit the Sun, so a year on Venus is 225 days.

    So you can see from this that a day on Venus is 243 Earth days and a year on Venus is 225 Earth days. Thus a day on Venus is longer than a year.

    Obviously, speaking of this will make you the least interesting person at the next dinner party.

    Not including this year, it must have felt like a Venusian year watching Carlisle. As for dinner parties, if im on form watch out, mostly though, i would be slumped forward, eyes half closed, hoping people would leave me alone. If im half asleep, i might be dribbling.
