how long does it take venus to orbit the sun

Venus takes about 225 Earth days to orbit the Sun.

Quick Scoop: Venus’s Year

  • Orbital period: about 224.7–224.65 Earth days (usually rounded to 225 days).
  • Average distance from the Sun: about 0.72 AU (around 108 million km).
  • That means a year on Venus is only about 61.5% as long as an Earth year.

So if you lived on Venus (ignoring the heat and acid clouds!), you’d celebrate “New Year’s” much more often than on Earth.
