Why Does Venus Rotate Differently From Other Planets | Space Documentary

Dive into the strange case of Venus, the planet where the Sun rises in the west, a day is longer than a year, and the entire world spins backwards. In this video, we break down in simple language why Venus has a 243-day retrograde rotation, how early giant impacts, brutal solar tides, and a runaway greenhouse atmosphere worked together to flip its spin, and what its super-dense CO₂ atmosphere and super-fast winds are doing to its rotation even today. You’ll see how crater counts, radar maps, and missions like Magellan, Venus Express, and Akatsuki revealed Venus’s slow, backwards spin, and how upcoming missions like VERITAS, EnVision, and DAVINCI will test our theories. Most importantly, we connect Venus to exoplanets and “super-Earths” around other stars, showing why an Earth-sized planet in the “right” zone can still end up as a hellish, backwards-spinning Venus twin. If you’ve ever wondered “why does Venus rotate differently from other planets?” or “how can a day be longer than a year?”, this video gives you the full story.
