But, for whatever reason, reality is different (and, in fact, there are two planets that spin "backwards"). I don't know why Venus does, though I could explore that as an official question.<br /><br />Year length, now, that's determined by distance to the sun and the eccentricity of the orbit. I think one orbit backwards, but the length of the year would be fixed.Stephanie Barrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17772217449161603561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2105799931107229707.post-28654779857665168022009-07-18T16:35:07.455-05:002009-07-18T16:35:07.455-05:00You have to check out this idea

Then again, my laptop would melt, and I would too, so the whole point is moot.<br /><br />Any details about Saturn? It's my personal favorite, after Earth (since Earth gives me an actual place to exist).Dr. Cheryl Carvajalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15323455180953109460noreply@blogger.com
