Question: On what planet does a day last longer than a year?

Answer: Venus. The planet spins so slowly on its axis that one day lasts nearly 243 Earth days. Because it’s closer to the Sun than Earth is, the planet has a 225-day year. So, the day is actually longer than a year, which means that Venus residents would only get to see two sunrises per year.
