∙ 12y agoThe earth takes 365.25 days to go once completely round the sun, therefore 365 days is one year. The .25 days is carried over, and once every four years we have a leap year, 366 days.
The earth always circles around the sun, called a revolution. What causes years is the full orbit of the earth around the sun, which is about 365.25 days.

similarly the distance decreases during the summer months, days are longer and nights are shorter.
I believe this phenomenon is called Apogee and Perigee.

∙ 8y agoA year (on Earth) is the length of time for the Earth to complete a full revolution or orbit around the sun. Year lengths vary from planet to planet.

∙ 8y agoit is dertemined by however long a plantet takes to orbit the sun, such as earth takes 365 1/4 days to complete a full orbit

What causes earths years to be shorter than Jupiter's years?
Well, we are closer to the sun, closer then Jupiter, so it makes our revolution shorterbecause we have a shorter distance to travel, hence Jupiter having a longer year then Earth.

How does the season affect the length of the day?
Depending on the distance from the equator, you get longer days in summer and shorter in winter. The farther from the equator the more pronounced the difference becomes.

What is 100 thousandths longer than 6.25?
It is neither longer nor shorter. Since there are no units of measurement, neither number is a length and so neither can be longer (nor shorter).
How does area change when the length changes?
When length gets longer the area will be larger. As the length gets shorter the area will be smaller.
