    Orbital period of Venus can be calculated using Kepler third law which states that period squared is equal to distance cubed, that is, (T1/T2) ^2 = (a1/a2) ^3 Where T1 equals the orbital period of venus, T2 is the orbital period of the earth and is equal to 365.25 days, a1 equals 0.723 AU and a2 equals 1AU. Using the equation and the values above, the orbital period of Venus is 224.54 days.
