One Venusian night lasts about 58 Earth daysSourced
From sunset to sunrise on Venus: days.
About 58 Earth days of them.
Venus rotates slowly and in the opposite direction to Earth. At a given location, night lasts just over 58 Earth days. Its dense atmosphere keeps the surface extremely hot even through that long darkness.
An unusually long night
is not a cool one.
