Why does it take earth a longer period of time to revolve around the sun than Venus?

Venus is unusual because it spins the opposite direction of Earth and most other planets. And its rotation is very slow. It takes about 243 Earth days to spin around just once. Because it's so close to the sun, a year goes by fast.

Hello! :)

It takes Earth loner to revolve around the sun because Earth is the 4th planet away from the sun, and Venus is the second. With this, it takes Earth to go around in a circular motion around the sun because it’s distance is far greater than Venus.’

Hope I helped and answered in time!

Good luck!
