The second planet from the sun (0,7 A.U.) is Venus. With a diameter of 7,522 miles and a mass 0.89 times that of the Earth, the planet is only a little smaller than the Earth. The optical telescope reveals only a layer of clouds which are opaque to visible light. (...) The period of rotation has (...) been determined by radar to be about 243 days, but in the direction opposite to the direction of revolution. The planet rotates in "retrograde motion", that is, in the reverse direction. The period of rotation with respect to the sun must, therefore, be about 122 days.  1, fiche 1, Anglais, - Venus
