How many hours is it from sunrise to the next sunrise on Venus???

If you looked directly north on venus in the nightsky would you see the stars spinning CCW around polaris??? If not what would you see and why???

Imagine Earth stoped orbiting the sun, (stayed in the place that it was). how would this change our solor system model affect the apparent motion of the stars in the night sky on a day to day basis???

Imaging Earth stopped orbiting the sun, how would this change the apparent motion of the stars in the night sky on an hourly basis???(lookin at the stars continusly through the night)

Hi. Oh, so this was your POLITE question, eh? Refer to my other answer. I'm tired of typing. Oh, OK...
Venus has such a dense atmosphere the Sun never rises. Polaris is what you see (at least for now) from Earth due to the tilt of Earth's axis, about 23.7 or so degrees, and its precession, about 27,000 years per cycle. On Venus you would see clouds looking north. The stars would rise and set at the same time if the Earth stopped its solar orbit instead of rising a few minutes earlier as the Earths position changed. They would seem to revolve once every 24 hours. (Not sidereal time!) Sorry for my obviously inadequate answers but it's the best I can do on such short notice. Have a nice night.
