Gravity explained in simple terms

A day on Venus is longer than a year. • 1 day on Venus - 243 Earth days • 1 year on Venus - 225 Earth days

Father of the year 🎊 Good father 😌😍

Planets have different day lengths because they spin at different speeds. For example, Jupiter spins very fast, so one day there is just under 10 hours. On the other hand, Venus spins very slowly, taking about 243 Earth days to complete one rotation. The tilt of a planet's axis also affects how long days and nights are. Earth has a tilt of about 23.5 degrees, which is why we have seasons and why days are longer in summer and shorter in winter. Other planets, like Uranus, have a much more extreme tilt, leading to unusual day and night patterns. These factors combine to create the unique day and night cycles we see on each planet.
