A much more meaningful way to relate rotations, is in terms
of angular velocity. Or State the 360° rotation in earth days.

For the Earth, the angular velocity is 0.72921158553 × 10^-4 rad/s.
For the Earth, one rotation takes 0.997269566 days

For Venus, it is 2.99244922 × 10^-7 rad/s
For Venus, one rotation takes 243.0185 days
