  Uranus spinning on its side is interesting. “A day” means the time a planet needs to rotate on its axis. Venus is sometimes called Earth’s sister or twin planet because of the similarity in appearance. For the temperature, there is a slight difference.

  Well.. that’s an interesting information. I have nothing more to say because the article is very clear !

  I don’t understand why they call Venus earth twin or sister

• fatma Ali Shafie says:
  

  The main interesting fact is that day on venus is longer than year in venus .Day is the required time for planet to rotate around its axis…Because it spins on its side not retrograde rotation

  The main interesting fact in this report is that Venus’s day is longer than it’s year.

  The scientific definition of a day is the amount of the time it takes for a plante to do a full rotation on it’d axis.

  The report mentions Uranus because it is another planet that spins on its axis in a unique way. Venus spins backwards an Uranus spins on its side.

  Good for study

  It takes Venus longer to rotate once on its axis than to complete one orbit of the Sun. That’s 243 Earth days to rotate the longest rotation of any planet in the Solar System. About 224.1 Earth days to complete one orbit of the Sun.

  The interesting fact is the main topic of this report is Venus day is longer than its year.
  One rotation of the planet is one day.
  Uranus is because it is a planet that rotates on its axis in a unique way.

  I think the Venus is interesting because on the Venus one day is longer then one year.That is can’t happn on the Earth.I think have some people called the Earth ang Venus is the twin planet is the two planet is so close.

  I like this story because I was interested about planet. There are manly planets in outer space, my favorite one is the earth because the earth can let human beings live in it.

  The scientific definition of a year is the amount of time it takes for a planet to make one revolution around the Sun. Earth’s neighbouring planet, Venus, takes 225 Earth days to revolve around the sun. The definition of a day is how long it takes for a planet to do one complete rotation on its own axis. It takes Venus 243 Earth days to do this. In other words, a day on Venus is longer than a year on Venus. The rotation of Venus on its axis is retrograde. It rotates in the opposite direction of Earth and the other planets in the Solar System (Uranus spins on its side)

  Earth and Venus are known to be as a sister planet or twin planet. The reason is that because radius and mass of earth and Venus is quite similar. Moreover Venus is more close to the sun. Scientist discover many things on Venus and they are must similar to earth. So that the reason why people says that Venus is twin planet. Most of the people consider Manchester as a twin of Wuhan the Capital City China. Accordingly, the most common factor people consider as both the cities economy and the population.
