Inhabitants of Venus, if there are
any, must feel it extremely difficult to
establish units of time. Venus always
turns the same face toward the sun;
so the planet has no day, and the
lack of moon deprives it of a month.
FINAL, it has no year, for its axis OF
rotation is perpendicular to the plane
of its orbit, and the latter is almost
