The planet that takes about 225 Earth days to orbit the Sun (a "year") is Venus, making its year shorter than its 243-day rotation period, meaning a Venusian day is longer than its year.
A year on Venus lasts 225 Earth days.
On March 23, 2178, Pluto will complete its first full orbit around the Sun since its discovery. Of the five dwarf planets in the Solar System – including Eris, Ceres, Makemake, and Haumea – Pluto is easily the best-known due to its brief categorization as a regular planet.
Venus will disappear behind the Moon, then re-emerge out the other side, on 19 September 2025 in an event known as a lunar occultation. Lunar occultations can involve a variety of celestial objects, be they planet, star or star cluster.
Complete answer: Through the orbital periods of the planet and by observing their positions with respect to the fixed stars we can get the idea of their position away from the sun as Mercury takes 88 days and Venus takes 255 which is less than the earth's days i.e. 365 days to complete one revolution.
The planet that experiences 42 years of darkness (and 42 years of light) at its poles is Uranus, due to its extreme axial tilt of about 98 degrees, making it "roll" on its side as it orbits the Sun. This unique tilt causes each pole to face the Sun continuously for 42 Earth years, followed by 42 years in darkness, while the equator experiences more typical day-night cycles.
Venus and Earth are often called twins because they are similar in size, mass, density, composition and gravity. Venus is only a little bit smaller than our home planet, with a mass of about 80% of Earth's. Venus is not a gas planet, but a rocky planet.

1 hour on Earth can equal 7 years in space (or vice versa) due to time dilation, a concept from Einstein's relativity where strong gravity or extreme speeds slow down time relative to an outside observer, famously depicted in the movie Interstellar on a planet near a black hole where an hour for the crew meant years passing on Earth. It's not about speed alone in orbit (ISS astronauts age slightly slower), but about proximity to immense mass, like a black hole, bending spacetime so drastically that time crawls for those nearby compared to time far away.
2025 stands out as a perfect square year, a rare occurrence packing spiritual significance. Historically important perfect square years include 1936, 1849, 1600, and 1225. This year promises advances in medicine, space exploration, defense, and technology but also poses challenges in unregulated advancements.
No mate, Pluto didn't disappeared. In August 2006 the International Astronomical Union (IAU) downgraded the status of Pluto to that of "dwarf planet." This means that from now on only the rocky worlds of the inner Solar System and the gas giants of the outer system will be designated as planets.
Pluto, born Jada Amaurie Smith on March 9, 2004, at Atlanta Medical Center, is a rising hip-hop artist from the West Side of Atlanta. A graduate of Washington High School, Pluto began writing freestyles at the age of 14, recording herself rapping over YouTube beats and instrumentals of her favorite songs.
2-Minute Speech:
We celebrate Earth Day every year on April 22. This reminds us that Earth is our only home. But our actions—pollution, wasting resources, and using plastic—are destroying nature. We can help by turning off lights, using less plastic, planting trees, and spreading awareness.
While the surface of Venus is very inhospitable to humans, conditions at altitudes of 50 km above the surface have been identified to be not only hospitable for indigenous but also for human life, more so than anywhere else in the Solar System other than Earth.
Venus is the second planet from the Sun, and Earth's closest planetary neighbor. Venus is the third brightest object in the sky after the Sun and Moon. Venus spins slowly in the opposite direction from most planets.
Ceres isn't a planet because, while it orbits the Sun and is round, it hasn't "cleared its orbit" of other debris, meaning it doesn't gravitationally dominate its region in the asteroid belt like a true planet. Discovered in 1801, it was initially called a planet, but as more objects were found in the asteroid belt, it was reclassified as an asteroid and then, in 2006, as a dwarf planet when the International Astronomical Union (IAU) defined a planet, with Ceres failing the "clearing its neighborhood" criterion.
Return to the Moon
Artemis II, scheduled for launch between February and April sees the return of the first people to the Moon since Apollo 17 in 1972. Three American and one Canadian astronaut will orbit the Moon on a 10 day journey that lays the foundation for lunar landings in the coming years.
The magnitude of this scale factor (nearly 300,000 kilometres or 190,000 miles in space being equivalent to one second in time), along with the fact that spacetime is a manifold, implies that at ordinary, non-relativistic speeds and at ordinary, human-scale distances, there is little that humans might observe that is ...
Once every 176 years, the giant planets on the outer reaches of the solar system all gather on one side of the sun, and such a configuration was due to occur in the late 1970s.
Lasting for 432,000 years (1,200 divine years), Kali Yuga began 5,127 years ago and has 426,873 years left as of 2026 CE. Kali Yuga will end in the year 428,899 CE.
This might lead some to believe he died, but one version of the Kalki Purana in the book The Origins of Evil in Hindu Mythology states Kali does not die but, instead, escapes through time and space to live in the Kali Yuga of the next kalpa.
Lord Vishnu's Kalki Avatar
Lord Vishnu will reincarnate as his final avatar Kalki at the end of Kaliyuga. Kalki Avatar will kill the monster Kali and Kaliyuga will also come to an end.
The most acidic rain in the Solar System is found on the planet Venus, where the working fluid in the cycle of evaporation, condensation and precipitation is a sulphuric acid solution (rather than water, as on Earth).
Water: At one time, Venus may have had large amounts of water — much like Earth, but now it is a dry, barren landscape. In fact, when it "rains" on Venus (its rain consists primarily of sulfur and carbon dioxide), any water evaporates before it ever hits the ground.
