It would be longer because Neptune is farther away from the sun than Earth is. Then, Neptune revolution is 163.72 Earth YEARS and Earth revolution period is 365.26 Earth DAYS.

Hope I helped.

The planet Neptune is farther from the Sun and has a much longer orbit than Earth's.

It takes 164.79 Earth years for Neptune to complete its orbit.

Because the "day" on Neptune is only about 16 Earth hours long, the year on Neptune, while equal to 60,190 Earth days, is about 89,666 "Neptune days".

Neptune's orbit is about 30 times farther from the sun than Earth's is, so that means it has to travel about 30 times farther to complete one orbit. Additionally, the strength of an object's gravity (such as the sun) decreases with distance. The Sun's gravity at Neptune's orbit is about 900 times weaker than it is at Earth's orbit. This means that Neptune orbits at a slower speed, about 5.5 times slower. So, if Neptune has an orbit about 30 times longer than Earth and travels about 5.5 times slower, it would take about 165 times longer to orbit the sun, and one orbit of Neptune does indeed take about 165 Earth years.

One year on the planet Neptune is equal to 164.79 Earth years, which is 60,190 days. For Earth, one year is roughly 365.25 days.

Longer, because it's farther from the sun which makes it's orbit larger. Also being farther from the sun less of the sun's gravity is pulling it in making it slower.

Uranus takes around 84 Earth years to make one orbit of the sun. So a `Uranus year` is longer than an Earth year. An Earth year on Uranus will still be one Earth year though.
