Dude - VENUS does not rotate. The EARTH rotates. This is the difference between the two.

As has been pointed out in the comments here, there are many differences between Earth and Venus, one of which is Venus's slow rate of rotation about its axis. A 'day' on Venus is about 243 earth days, while its year is 224 earth days.

And not only does it rotate, it does so in an opposite direction as the Earth and most if not all of the other planets.

When the year is longer than the day... that is effectively NO rotation.

Especially for the purposes of determining climate.

With the Earths 24 hour rotation, we have 12 hours of cooling after every 12 hours of heating.

Venus has over 5,800 hours of heating on a spot.
