How long does it take Venus to orbit the sun?

Golden Venus has a shorter orbit than earth because it is some 26 million miles closer to the sun. What is more, it orbits almost twice as fast as the earth. A planetts year is the time it takes to revolve once around its orbit, so we would expect Venus to have a much shorter year than we do. And this is so,

Our speedy neighbor whips once around its orbit in a period equal to 224 earth days, 16 hours and 48 minutes. A Vesuvian year, then, is equal to about seven and a half months on earth.
