About this episode

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDTc_DTOJwE

From  Mar 18, 2022.

All the planets in the solar system rotate counter clockwise - except Venus.

A day on Venus lasts longer than it’s year!

This makes Venus a bit of a space oddity, so this video looks at what’s going on and a few theories explaining why.
