What is the relationship between earth day length and the distance from the sun?
There is no direct relationship between the rotation of a planet (which governs day length) and a planets distance from the sun. The nature of the planets spin is more to do with the formation of the system early on, by large impacts of the more numerous bodies that would have been around.
What is the relationship between the length of a planet's day and the rate of planet's rotation?
Yes; the faster the planet rotates, the shorter its day will be.
What do the length of the planets year and its distance from the sun have in common?
There is a relationship between the planets distance from the sun and the time taken for one orbit (planets year), described in Keplers third law. The square root of the time taken to orbit the sun is proportional to the cube of the average distance between the sun.
The spin of a planet or moon as seen from above a planets pole is called its?
A planet's rotation on its axis determines the length of its day.
What is the difference between a planet's period of rotation and period of revolution?
All planets in our solar system vary in the time it takes them to complete a revolution. This is due to their differing distances from the sun. As far as rotation goes, the time varies from nine hours and fifty minutes for Jupiter to 244 days for Venus to make a like rotation.

What would you define the length of a planets day?
by the rotation of the planet

What is the relationship between the length of a planet's day and the rate of planet's rotation?
Yes; the faster the planet rotates, the shorter its day will be.
How does the planets distance from the sun affect the length of a day?
Not at all. The planet's daily rotation is independent of its distance from the Sun.

There is a relationship between the planets distance from the sun and the time taken for one orbit (planets year), described in Keplers third law. The square root of the time taken to orbit the sun is proportional to the cube of the average distance between the sun.

A planet's rotation on its axis determines the length of its day.
How do scientist calculate the length between the planets?
By triangulation method.
What did Kepler discover about the distance of the planets from the sun and the length of their orbits?
Keplar showed that there is a relationship between the planets distance from the sun and the time taken for one orbit (planets year). This is described in Keplars third law; the square root of the time taken to orbit the sun is proportional to the cube of the average distance between the sun.
How does the earth's movements determine how long our days are?
One full rotation of any planet on its axis is the length of that planets day, Earth included.
What is the rotation(length of days )for all planets?
Each planets has a different length of time it takes to make a full rotation. The approximate lengths are: Mercury: 58 days, Venus: 243 days, Earth: 24 hours, Mars: 24 hours, Jupiter: 10 hours, Saturn: 11 hours, Uranus: 17 hours and Neptune: 16 hours.
What is the relationship between the height and the base of a triangle?
There is no relationship. Knowing the length of one of them doesn't tell you the length of the other one.
