Note: A year is the time it takes a planet to orbit the Sun. More distant planets orbit more slowly, closer planets orbit more quickly. Venus is closer to the Sun than Earth, so its year is shorter than the Earth year.

Of all the planets in our Solar System, the orbit of Venus is the closest to circular. Technically, it has an eccentricity of less than 0.01.
