a year basically means how long it takes for a planet to make a complete orbit around its sun... the earth's is 364.25 days. Planets farther than ours e.g. mars, Jupiter etc. have longer orbit therefore take longer to complete an orbit around the sun, therefore a longer year :)

Is their another planet like Ares?

Maybe. Space is so big, filled with stars I am sure are planet isn't the only one with life. Comment: "Ares" could be a bad spelling of "ours", as the above answer seems to suggest. But it probably means "Ares", which is basically another name for Mars. There may be another planet like Mars, somewhere, I guess. I've checked, and a supervisor capitalised "Ares". So, now I think it was just a misspelling if "ours" by the contributor.

In a parallel universe, possibly. In ours no, at least unknown to us. It also depends on what you define as a replica, like land-life-and water, or literally a copy.
