DYK Venus rotates on it's axis once every 243 Earth days but orbits the sun every 224.65 Earth days
This means on Venus a day is longer than a year.
Also it rotates the oposite direction to every other thing in the slar system.
It rotates clockwise, everything else spins anti clockwise.

Rod does that mean Venus is getting younger? :/

So Venus decided to do things it's way ?

They do say women are from Venus ?

;)
 
DYK nothing rhymes in the English language with the following words orange, silver, purple, month, ninth, pint, wolf, dangerous and marathon?
 
Did you know if the sun all of the sudden went out we wouldn't know for over 8 minutes because that's how long it takes for the light to travel from the sun to earth.

that would be a bugger of a homework assignment

Hi All,

If Venus was rotating anti-clockwise you would have to stand on one side of the equator, if you stand on the other side and look to the opposite pole of Venus it would be going in a clockwise direction...correct me if I'm wrong!!

Ron :cool:

PS: Who said North is the top, maybe we all got it wrong and South is the top

Our current and previous Prime Ministers were not born in Australia? The last Prime Minister not to be born in Australia was Billy Hughes! Gillard had bronchopneumonia as a child and her parents wanted a warmer climate. Abbott's family came here as "Assisted Passage Migration Scheme".

The human body is composed of many elements, including Gold in trace amounts.

The average person's body weighing 70 kilograms would contain a total mass of 0.2 milligrams of gold. The volume of this gold in purified form would be 10 nanoliters. If this refined gold were formed into a solid cube of purified gold, the measurement of each side of the cube would be 0.22 millimeters.

While the role of gold in the physiological processes of the human body was unknown for many years, it has recently been determined that gold plays a role in both the health and maintenance of the joints, as well as being a key element in the transmittal of electrical signals throughout the body.
 
Did you know the sun is estimated to weigh;

1.98892 10^30 kilograms, (that is 30 zero,s) which is about 330,000 times the weight of the earth.

That's well beyond the comprehension of this little black duck.

Did you know Canis Majoris is a red hypergiant star is by far the largest known. It has an estimated radius between 1800 and 2100 times the radius of our Sun. With this size it would reach nearly to the orbit of Saturn if placed in our solar system. The star is located roughly 4,900 light-years from Earth in the constellation Canis Majoris. That knowledge would killa little black duck.
