Venus Rotation - HQ

Venus Rotation - High Quality

Rotation of Plnaet Venus around its axis, clockwise, i.e East-West, which creates the strange scene of Sun rising in the West and setting in the East. it takes 243.1 Earth days for Venus to complete a Ratation.

Venus is the second-closest planet to the Sun, orbiting it every 224.7 Earth days. The planet is named after Venus, the Roman goddess of love and beauty. After the Moon, it is the brightest natural object in the night sky, reaching an apparent magnitude of −4.6. Because Venus is an inferior planet from Earth, it never appears to venture far from the Sun: its elongation reaches a maximum of 47.8°. Venus reaches its maximum brightness shortly before sunrise or shortly after sunset, for which reason it is often called the Morning Star or the Evening Star.

Venus is what the Earth was 3 billion yrs ago. Mars is what the Earth will be 3 billion yrs from now.

Great vidio.

Thanks

[KurdstanPlanetarium]

@loveflowers39 you welcome...nice explanation !!

[coolatma]

To an observer on the surface of Venus the Sun would appear to rise in the west and set in the east because of the retrograde rotation (clockwise) of venus......very interesting indeed..............

[KurdstanPlanetarium]

@coolatma indeed venus is interesting planet, its my favourite planet thats why its my proifle picture here in youtube !!

[elvisinpersonator]

Good! though somehow the thick atmosphere was discarded in the scene. ;)

[KurdstanPlanetarium]

@elvisinpersonator Thanx...yes with the thick atmosphere there is littel to see beneth it

[SHNGHN]

@coolatma My favorite fact I had learned about, from Venus.

[joikbenik]

a year is shorter than a day on venus XD

[loveflowers39]

Great vidio. Thank you.
