While sorta on the subject. Venus' day is longer than its year.
Allow me a small correction:
Her tomb is lined with a 2.5 mm of lead and obviously her remains are not radioactive to these days.
The wrong information obviously taken from the wrong entry in Wiki
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marie_Curie
Their remains were sealed in a lead lining because of the radioactivity.[79]
Marie Curie's Belongings Will Be Radioactive For Another 1,500 Years
The correct info is to be taken from another document from her a her husband exhumation in 1995 (the lead lining was from her original burial in Sceaux 60 years ago):Her body is also radioactive and was therefore placed in a coffin lined with nearly an inch of lead.

I prefer the term rogue planet, but yes.
A strange lonely planet found without a star -- ScienceDaily
Not really.
"Nearly all scientists who study the formation of planets believe that Jupiter formed in a very different manner than stars form, so that calling Jupiter a 'failed star' is misleading. Stars form directly from the collapse of dense clouds of interstellar gas and dust. Because of rotation, these clouds form flattened disks that surround the central, growing stars. After the star has nearly reached its final mass, by accreting gas from the disk, the leftover matter in the disk is free to form planets.
"Jupiter is generally believed to have formed in a two-step process. First, a vast swarm of ice and rock 'planetesimals' formed. These comet-sized bodies collided and accumulated into ever-larger planetary embryos. Once an embryo became about as massive as ten Earths, its self-gravity became strong enough to pull in gas directly from the disk. During this second step, the proto-Jupiter gained most of its present mass (a total of 318 times the mass of the Earth). Soon thereafter, the disk gas was removed by the intense early solar wind, before Saturn could grow to a similar size."
I have heard people call Jupiter a "failed star" that
just did not get big enough to shine. Does that make our sun a kind of double
star? And why didn't Jupiter become a real star? - Scientific American
