Venus takes life absurdly slowly: it needs 243 Earth days to spin around once, but only 225 to complete a full orbit of the Sun. Its year ends before its day does. No other planet in the solar system can say the same.
And the strangeness doesn't stop there. Venus rotates backwards compared to almost all of its neighbours. If you could stand on its surface — and survive temperatures of around 460 degrees Celsius, hot enough to melt lead — you would watch the Sun rise in the west and set in the east.
Astronomers suspect that a colossal impact, or tidal effects on its crushingly dense atmosphere, slowed and flipped its spin billions of years ago. Whatever the cause, the result is a world where New Year arrives before bedtime.
