Mercury, Venus, and Mars all have longer days, both solar and siderial (rotational) days.
Each rotation of Mercury takes 58.65 Earth days, Venus takes 243 Earth days, and Mars takes 1.03 Earth days (24.6 hours).
There could be exoplanets with a period of rotation longer than our day. The five dwarf planets (including Pluto) also have a longer rotation period than an Earth Day.
Venus is one. Not only does it rotate "retrograde", but its rotational period is 243 Earth days while its year is only about 225 Earth days. It's a good thing that the atmosphere is completely opaque; I'm getting a headache even trying to imagine what that looks like from the surface!
The other one is Mercury. That has a "solar day" (not the rotation period) that's twice as long as its year (orbital period).
Venus. The day is very long - 224 Earth days, and it's year (it's orbital period to travel once around the sun) is 245 Earth days, which makes a day on Venus longer than it's year! Interestingly, this planet rotates in "retrograde motion" which means that it rotates in the opposite direction that Earth does. This means that on Venus, the the sun rises in the west and sets in the east!
Venus has a day longer than a year. Its day (243 Earth days) is 18 Earth days longer than its year (225 Earth days).

No planet in our solar system has days longer than one Earth year. Venus has the longest day -- it's 243 Earth days.
Mercury, Venus and Mars.
Earth
All planet's years are longer than their days except for Venus.You probably meant to ask which planet's day is longer than its year, and the answer is Venus.
Venus "sidereal day" is longer than its year. Mercury's "solar day" is longer than its year. However, there is no planet in our solar system with a day longer than our year on Earth.
Venus!
On the planet Venus - it takes longer for Venus to make one rotation than it does for it to go around the sun once, so Venus' day is LONGER than it's year. Imagine that?
a year is determined on how long the planet takes to orbit the sun. When calculating the year of a planet we use earth days. __________________ Yes, distance counts. The farther a planet is from the sun, the longer it takes that planet to complete one full orbit.

the farther away from the sun the day must be longer.
Every planet's year is longer than 365 days except for Mercury and Venus. Earth's year is aproximately 365.25 days, people just combined them for an extra day every 4 years.
Venus "sidereal day" is longer than its year. Mercury's "solar day" is longer than its year. However, there is no planet in our solar system with a day longer than our year on Earth.
None. Venus has the longest rotation period of 243 days, less than a year.
Yes - a prime example is the planet Venus... Its 'day' is 243 Earth days, and it's 'year' is 225 Earth days, meaning a day on Venus is longer than it's year !
Mercury. It actually takes longer to rotate on its axis (89 days) than it takes to orbit the sun.
No planet (in our solar system) has a year of 264 earth days. The two planets near to the sun than us have short years, all others have longer years.
Mars has a longer year than Earth (about twice as long) and its day is 24 hours and 38 minutes long.
Venus. The day is very long - 243 Earth days, and it's year (it's orbital period to travel once around the sun) is 225 Earth days, which makes a day on Venus longer than it's year! Interestingly, this planet rotates in "retrograde motion" which means that it rotates in the opposite direction that Earth does. This means that on Venus, the the sun rises in the west and sets in the east!
a year basically means how long it takes for a planet to make a complete orbit around its sun... the earth's is 364.25 days. Planets farther than ours e.g. mars, Jupiter etc. have longer orbit therefore take longer to complete an orbit around the sun, therefore a longer year :)
