Venus
Venus is the second planet from our Sun and is approximately the same size as Earth. Despite its similar size, it's one of the most inhospitable places in the entire Solar System because of its runaway greenhouse effect. While its orbital period is 225 Earth days, its rotational period is 243 Earth days, meaning it orbits the Sun faster than its spins.
