Question:

Which of the following statement about Venus is NOT correct?

Options:

Venus is unusual because it spins in the opposite direction of Earth and most other planets.

Venus is sometimes called Earth's twin.

Venus takes longest time in our solar system to rotate on its axis.

None of the above.

Correct Answer:

None of the above.

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) - None of the above.

Venus is sometimes called Earth's twin because it's similar in size and structure, but the planets are very different in other ways. In addition to being extremely hot, Venus is unusual because it spins in the opposite direction of Earth and most other planets. It takes Venus longer to rotate once on its axis than to complete one orbit of the Sun. That's 243 Earth days to rotate once – the longest rotation of any planet in the Solar System
