Subscriber nudge+ 15,324 Posted January 8, 2023 Subscriber Share Posted January 8, 2023 Just now, Tommy said: A day = the time it takes for a planet to rotate once around its axis A year = the time it takes for a planet to complete one orbit around the Sun It takes Venus 243 Earth days to rotate around its own axis, therefore 1 Venus day = 243 Earth days. It takes Venus 225 Earth days to make a full orbit around the Sun, therefore 1 Venus year = 225 Earth days. 243 > 225, therefore 1 Venus day is longer than 1 Venus year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, I googled it and figured it out. Very confusing indeed. Until quite recently I wasn't even sure which ones are Gas giants, and which ones are terrestrial. I felt dumb as shit. Only when we spoke about the Apps and spotting planets etc. I did a proper Wikipedia research. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only when we spoke about the Apps and spotting planets etc. I did a proper Wikipedia research. I always wondered what would happen if you attempted to make a landing on a gaseous planet. Like, obviously you can't land as there's no surface, but what exactly would happen? Well I mean in reality you would just get crushed by immense pressure, but ignoring that. Would you just fly through the planet? Or are there some liquid layers you can swim through? Or is there an actual solid core? So many questions... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yea, it would be interesting to know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Tommy 12,604 Posted January 8, 2023 Moderator Share Posted January 8, 2023 Just watching a documentary about Venus on Youtube, and they put Venus next to Earth to show the difference in their rotation speed. It's crazy how fast Earth rotates compared to Venus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
