What zones of the earth experience the longest days?
The 5th zone
What planet has the second shortest day?
Mercury has the 2nd longest "sidereal day" with a sidereal rotation period of 58.646 Earth days. The longest "sidereal day" day is Venus, with a sidereal rotation period of 243.018 Earth daysIf you use the "solar day" as your definition of "day", the order is reversed. Mercury then has the longest day and Venus has the second longest day.
The longest day and longest night of Alaska is what?
Quote from a related question: "Alaska has the longest day of the year in the U.S. No sunset for 82 days in summer. Alaska also has the longest night with no sunrise for 67 days in winter"
How do you have longest day?
The change in the length of the day is due to the tilt of the Earth. You will have your longest day of the year when you live of the part of the Earth that is tilted towards the Sun.
Are days longer during a solstice?
No. At the summer solstice, the days are at their longest, but at the winter solstice, the days are at their shortest.
Which part of the earth have the longest summer days?
Canada
What zones of the earth experience the longest days?
The 5th zone
What planet has days longer than earth years?
No planet in our solar system has days longer than one Earth year. Venus has the longest day -- it's 243 Earth days.
Which planet travels the longest in its revolution around the sun?
Neptune has the longest orbital period, which is equal to 59,800 Earth days. Pluto's is even longer (90,588 Earth days), but it has since been reclassified as a dwarf planet.
Do the longest and shortest days of the year happen on the same two days all over the earth?
Yes, but the shortest day in the Northern Hemisphere is also the longest in the Southern Hemisphere, and vice versa.
What planet has longest days?
Venus. Its day is -243.0185 Earth days long. The "minus" means it rotates in the direction opposite to the Earth and all the other planets (except Uranus). Another viewpoint: That's the time to spin once, called the "sidereal day". The "solar day" is defined in a different way and is only about 116.75 Earth days long for Venus. On that definition, it is Mercury that has the longest day (about 176 Earth days.)
Why does the hottest day occur after the longest day?
because the sun is closer earthAnswer:There is very little relation between the hottest day and the longest day. For the northern hemisphere the longest days are in summer when the axial tilt of the Earth lets the sun's rays fall more directly on the surface. However the warmest days can occur any time during the entire span of the summer (about 90 days). Note that for the Northern hemisphere the summer occurs when the Earth is furthest from the sun.The location on the Earth is also significant consideration. The day time high temperatures generally increase as one approaches the equator. The days near the equator are generally very close to 12 hours due to the geometry of the Earth's orbit and the tilt of the Earth. This would make the longest days at the equator shorter by several hours than the longest days anywhere else on the planet. In this case the longer days in the higher latitudes would be significantly cooler than the shorter (equatorial) days.
What is the shortest year to longest year?
Neptune has the longest year( Pluto would be but it isn't a planet) Mercury has the shortest year(1 year=88 earth days)
What planet's days are longer than one earth year?
None. Venus has the longest rotation period of 243 days, less than a year.
One day on which planet equals 318 earth days?
There are no planets in our solar system with a rotational period of 318 days. The longest is Venus, with a rotational period of 243 days.
What planet requires one earth year to rotate on its axis?
There is no such planet known. The planet with the longest rotation period is Venus. That rotates in about 243 Earth days.
Can the same day be both the longest and the shortest days of the year?
Yes, if all days on Earth were the same length. But this doesn't happen because of the axial tilt.
