Which is longer the stellar day the sidereal day or the solar day?
Usually the solar day is the longest. The other two are very similar in length to each other. For example, the solar day on Earth is about 4 minutes longer than the other two "days". However, for the planet Venus the solar day is the shortest. That's because Venus has retrograde rotation.
What planet has the second shortest day?
Mercury has the 2nd longest "sidereal day" with a sidereal rotation period of 58.646 Earth days. The longest "sidereal day" day is Venus, with a sidereal rotation period of 243.018 Earth daysIf you use the "solar day" as your definition of "day", the order is reversed. Mercury then has the longest day and Venus has the second longest day.
What planet has the longest day sunrise to sunrise?
The answer is NOT Venus. It is MERCURY. Venus takes longer to spin once than does Mercury. However Venus spins in the opposite direction to Mercury. The result is that Mercury has the longest "sunrise to sunrise" times.
What day is the earth farthest from the sun?
Earth has a slightly elliptical orbit around the sun with an eccentricity of 1.7% or about 5 million kilometers.In July, Earth is furthest from the Sun (aphelion). In January, Earth is closest to the Sun (perihelion).Specific dates for perihelion (closest) and aphelion (furthest):Year Perihelion Aphelion2007 January 3 July 72008 January 3 July 42009 January 4 July 42010 January 3 July 62011 January 3 July 42012 January 5 July 52013 January 2 July 52014 January 4 July 42015 January 4 July 62016 January 2 July 4This is actually due to the changes of weather.http:/www.spaceweather.com/glossary/aphelion.html
What planet is the most cold?
The coldest planet used to be Pluto, but now that Pluto's not a planet anymore, the coldest planet is Neptune. Its cloud tops are at a freezing -218 degrees Celsius. That pretty cold, but it's recorded that one of Neptune's moons, Triton, has a record-breaking temperature of -235 degrees Celsius. Also, isn't this weird? You know that Mercury rotates slowly, right? Well, at night it rotates so slow that its temperatures reach -183 degrees Celsius, although Mercury is the closest planet to the sun in the solar system. Not nearly as cold as Neptune, but colder than it would ever be here on Earth! Anyways, if Pluto was still a planet, it would be the coldest, but not anymore. Now it's Neptune. Hope this helps!

Why is the amount of solar heating less at northern latitudes on a clear day in january than on a clear day in july?
Both the sun is above the horizon for less than 12 hours in January in the north and at low sun angles, the received sunlight is spread over a larger surface area.

Which planet has the longest day sunrise to sunrise?
Venus has the longest sidereal day (period of rotation or spin). This "day" is 243.0185 Earth days long and Venus rotates in the opposite direction of Earth. This day on Venus is actually longer than its "year". It takes more time for the planet to turn one time on its axis than it takes to go around the Sun. A "year" on Venus takes only 224.7 Earth days.However, the longest solar day occurs on Mercury, which completes its slow spin about once every 59 Earth days but also circles the Sun in just 88 Earth days. This tidally-locked combination leads to a solar day (roughly sunrise to sunrise) of 176 Earth days, twice as long as the "year".On Venus, because it rotates clockwise but orbits counter-clockwise, the effect is to make a solar day ("daytime" is brighter, but there's no sunrise through the clouds) about 116.75 Earth days.Minor comment: The actual question may be asking something different, but that's not clear.

What planet in your solar system has the longest day?
Venus, its day is equivalent to 243 Earth Days. That's the rotation period, or "sidereal day". However the "solar day" on Venus is only about 117 Earth days. If you mean the "solar day" then Mercury has the longest day because Mercury has a solar day of about 176 Earth days.
