Venus rotates so slowly that it orbits the sun faster than it making a single rotation on its axis. So, Venus has a longer day than it's year. It takes 243 Earth days for Venus to make a rotation, and it takes 224 days for Venus to orbit around the sun.
Venus is the most explored planet, besides Earth. Several space probes have been sent to Venus so they can gather data. Only some have landed on the surface.
Venus is very unique because the planet rotates from East to West. The only other planet that does this is Uranus.
Venus' orbit is almost perfectly circular, with eccentricity of less than 1.
Venus' distance from the Sun is about 0.723 AU. With Earth representing 1 unit, Venus is 0.949
Venus' surface temperature is about 447.3°C.
