One "day" on Pluto (one rotation around its axis) is roughly 6.4 Earth days.
A year (one orbit around the Sun) is about 248.09 Earth years.
Pluto's sidereal rotation period is 6 days, 9 hours, 17 minutes, and 36 seconds.
So about 6.4 Earth days is the rotation period (sidereal day).
However, Pluto has a very large axis tilt (120 degrees) compared to the plane of its rotation. That means the polar regions are facing (fairly) directly towards or away from the Sun at times during Pluto's long orbit. So, for long periods, there will be a big difference in the amount of daylight in the northern and southern hemispheres.
In practical terms, that means most of Pluto gets either daylight or night lasting for many Earth years at a time. And the brightest it ever gets there is about comparable to dusk on Earth.

Is Earth's day longer than Pluto's day?
No. The day on slowly-rotating Pluto is about 6.4 Earth days long.
How many earth minutes long is a Pluto day?
A day on Pluto is 6.4 Earth days, which is 153.3 hours, or 9,198 minutes long.
How many earth years are in one Pluto day?
Let's do a little math shall we!One Pluto day is equivalent to 6.4 Earth days. Since Earths trip around the sun takes 365 days. we can then calculate that 6.4/365 = 0.0175... therefore one Pluto day is equal to 0.0175 years on Earth.another way of looking at the question would be "How long is a Pluto day".answer: one Pluto day = 6.4 Earth days
How many days does Pluto's rotation take in earth day's?
One Earth day = 0.15625 Pluto daysIn other words, a 24-hr Earth day is about 15% of a Pluto day.
Pluto how many time needed to rotate on its axis?
Pluto rotates much more slowly than Earth so a day on Pluto is much longer than a day on Earth. A day on Pluto is 6.4 Earth days or 153.3 hours long.
How long is plutos potation?
A single day, or one rotation period for Pluto, is equal to 6.39 days on Earth. The orbital period of Pluto is equal to 248 years on Earth. Pluto has an axial tilt of 120 degrees.
How many times does Pluto rotate in an earth day?
Pluto does not make a full rotation in an Earth day. In one Earth day, pluto has only rotated about 15% of the way.A full rotation on Pluto is about 6.4 Earth days.
What is Pluto's day revolution?
Pluto rotates at a relatively slow speed of about 47.1 km/hr (at the equator), making its day about 6.4 Earth days long.
