Their calendars must be confusing.
The people who live there must have a hell of a time making dinner plans, their calendar only has one day
to the people confused
a DAY is basically amount of time a planet takes to ROTATE about its own axis once
while an YEAR is a time a planet takes to REVOLVE around SUN ,i.e., completing one revolution
so venus take 243 Earth days to complete one rotation on its axis completing 1 venus day while it takes 225 Earth days to complete one revolution around sun completing 1 venus year
See you tomorrow means see you next year
Birthdays will be very confusing for the inhabitants of Venus
This has to be one of the most interesting things I’ve read in a while.
To make things more confusing is Venus spins counter clockwise , therefore loses a day every rotation !!
This is why it is acceptable for women to hold grudges
We are from Venus
Venus has always been one of my favorite planets. Beautiful, horrible and complex. Instant death on the surface, maybe life in the atmosphere. That’s some old school sci-fi shit.
People there probably nap a lot thru the day, kinda like cats
For ThoseThatDidTheMath:
How would a Venetian calendar be organized?
I bet it’s shorter than Uranus
Same with Mercury, thanks Phish
What’s even more amazing is that Venus always shows the same face to earth even though they are different planets.
Some years ago I read about a Russian spacecraft that landed on the surface and managed to send back photos before melting from the acid atmosphere.
Tear open a Carolina Reaper, spread it all over my arms and hands then proceed to touch every inch of my opponents face.
Had a previous marriage that kind of felt like that
That’s still one of the craziest space facts ever
Time is relative
When someone says they’re going to smack you into next Tuesday, that happened to Venus
“The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco”
-Venus: “Hold my beer”
I like to avoid this kind of mental gymnastics on a Sunday and regret opening this post lol
It’s surprising that it stays in a stable orbit with such a good knuckleball.
Carcosa?
Remember winter? Feels like yesterday
Sounds like life under the Trump
Regime.
Venus must work at the same place I do.
It also rotates backwards (clockwise) compared to all other planets, or arguably it’s axis has been rotated nearly 180° and therefore rotates correctly (counterclockwise in relation to it’s north pole).
All four seasons in a single day.
Definitely not moving there now
They should call it the Trump effect
I thought that was crème brulee.
Corporation would love this work day.
