Fun guy, A solar day on Venus is significantly longer than a day on Earth because Venus rotates extremely slowly on its axis, taking about 243 Earth days to complete one rotation, and its rotation is retrograde (opposite to its orbital direction), which causes the time between two consecutive sunrises on Venus to span approximately 117 Earth days. This similarly (or not) applies to other planets too
