While Venus is much hotter and closer to the sun than Earth, its rotation period is incredibly slow. It takes Venus 243 Earth days to complete one rotation, which is longer than its orbital period around the Sun (225 Earth days). This means that a day on Venus is actually longer than its year!

It's important to note that the length of a day can be defined in different ways (e.g., solar day vs. sidereal day). The statement above refers to the sidereal day, which is the time it takes a planet to rotate once relative to the stars.
