Here's why:

* Elliptical Orbit: All planets in our solar system have elliptical orbits, not just perfect circles. Venus's orbit is slightly elliptical.

* Slow Rotation: Venus rotates incredibly slowly. It takes about 243 Earth days to complete one rotation, which is longer than its orbital period around the Sun (225 Earth days). This means a day on Venus is longer than a year!
