What is Venus's solar day?

In: Planetary Science, Planet Venus [Edit categories]

Answer:

It rotates very slow. One full rotation on Venus is 243 Earth days. However, the time from sunrise to sunrise, as apparent to an observer on the surface, is 116.75 earth days. The former is what is referred to as the sidereal day, and the latter the solar day.
