Venus

1

Venus is the second planet from the Sun, orbiting it every 224.7 Earth days. It has the longest rotation period (243 days) of any planet in the Solar System and rotates in the opposite direction to most other planets. It has no natural satellites. It is named after the Roman goddess of love and beauty. It is the second-brightest natural object in the night sky after the Moon, bright enough to cast shadows at night and, though rare, occasionally be visible in broad daylight. Because Venus orbits within Earth's orbit it is an inferior planet and never appears to venture far from the Sun. (dixit Wikipedia)
