Answer: 223 days

Step-by-step explanation:

From Kepler's third law, the orbital period of planet around the sun is related with the semi-major axis of the orbit as:

p² = a³

where p is the orbital period in years and a is the semi-major axis/ distance to the star in AU.

It is given for Venus, a =  0.72 AU, then

p = √(0.72 AU)³ = 0.61 years

1 year = 365 days 222.9 days ≈ 223 days
