The length of time it takes to make a complete orbit around the sun.
Take the length of the planet's orbit, divide it by the speed at which the planet is orbiting and VOILA! The "year."
False, the speed it spins on it's axis determinds the length of day. The speed it rotates the sun determinds the length of it's year.
NGC 3079 is a galaxy, not a planet.

The time it takes for any given planet to make one complete revolution around its sun determines the length of its year.
As a general rule, the surface temp will go down and the length of the planet's "year" will increase the farther it is from the sun. There are exceptions, but that is the general rule.
The length of year on Mars is 686.98 Earth days or 1.88 Earth years.
Typically, this length of time is called a "year". Each planet's year is a different length than that of the other planets and increases as the planet is further from the Sun.
The length of the planet's year would be affected.

It is approx 88 Earth-days.
Mars with an orbital period of 1.88 years.
