Comparisons of the two planets' rotations, however, illustrate a key difference. Venus rotates on its axis in a direction opposite that of the Earth and the other planets of our solar system and takes 243 Earth-days for a complete rotation. One revolution around the Sun for Venus takes 225 Earth days. Because Venus takes longer to rotate on its own axis than to complete a journey around the Sun, one day on Venus is slightly longer than one year there!

Less than one. I can't remember the exact formula to "earth days" but the definition of a day is how long it takes a planet to rotate once on its axis. The definition of a year is how long a planet takes to orbit the sun.
In relative Venus terms, Venus takes longer to rotate on its axis than it does to orbit the sun...so technically, it takes less than one day to orbit the sun.
If you want earth days, I can't help you. Google it!
