Useless Fact You Don't Need To Know 3.
Venus, our celestial neighbour, holds a remarkable secret—it boasts a day longer than its year.

Picture a world where the day stretches on for nearly seven Earth months! But the strangeness doesn't end there; Venus's surface is a searing hellscape, with temperatures hot enough to melt lead due to a runaway greenhouse effect. So, while Venus's days are interminable, its surface is one of the most inhospitable places in our solar system.
