A planet's rotation determines the length of its day and its revolution determines the length of its year. A day on Earth is 24 hours and a year on Earth is 365 days. In contrast to Earth, a day on Venus is longer than a year on Venus. Which is the best reason for why this is so?

Answer :

Manethogo
