How many months does it take to get to Venus?

Answer 1

The "month" is purely a human invention. The "day" and the "year" are both marked

by natural processes ... the "day" is linked to light and dark, and the "year" is linked

to the cycle of the seasons. In ancient times, the month was intended to be linked to

the cycle of the moon's phases, but it got disconnected from the moon, and we don't

worry about that at all anymore. The month is just something we keep on the calendar

and is no longer connected to any natural occurrence. Our months don't even have the

same lengths.

Since Jupiter rotates on its axis and orbits the sun, you might say that it has a

natural day and a natural year. But there's no reason to expect that it has a

month. Even if you wanted to use moon phases to define months, that would

be a bit of a problem, since in the case of Jupiter, sixty three of them have been

confirmed so far.
