Only a Venus Sidereal day is longer than a Venus year!

Let's clear this up! In 1 Venusian year there are 1.92 Venus Solar days - a Solar day is the time taken to rotate relative to Sun (it's the common meaning of "day"). A day on Venus is only longer than its year for a Venus Sidereal day - time taken to rotate relative to the stars

Brilliant! If a picture can say a thousand words, this animation can say about 10,000! 👏👏👏

Living in darkness for half a year sounds like a great time. Or my quarantine experience. Either one.

Well thanks for clearing this up. I guess it happens because astronomers usually talk in terms of sidereal days and not many people who are not astronomers talk about Venus.

Thank you. It helps me understand their relationships.

Would love to see a comparison of the major moons of Jupiter and Saturn.

Hello interplanetary. I am making a video about why Venus turns backwards. Was about to set about making an animation just like this one when I found yours. Could you possibly give me permission to use your animation in my video? Thank you if you can. I could show you my video first if you wanted. Cheers George

Please feel free to do so!

Uhhh... could you please add the link to your Instagram account? I saw an article about your work and I'm interested. But I usually don't use TH-cam or any other social media, only Instagram sometimes. Thanks 😊
