A day on Venus lasts about 243 Earth days. As a result, it's possible to outpace the sun's path in the sky simply by walking. Assuming the skies on Venus were clear, and you never got tired of walking, you could theoretically watch the sun set forever.https://goo.gl/qdUcEn
I see. Yeah, you'd probably have to factor in a lot more than that, such as distance between sun and Venus, axial tilt, orbital period, orbital eccentricity, etc.

Right. I see that it would be more complicated on Venus because you're pretty much going through a year as you go through a day. So keeping the sun in the same place in the sky is tougher than just staying on a line of latitude.

Actually, a Venus day is a bit more than a Venus year. Interesting.
