What is the lengthof a year for all planets?
The length of a year for a planet is the amount of time it takes for the planet to make a complete revolution around the sun. For the Earth, this is about 365 1/4 days. The length of time for other planets in our solar system to revolve around the sun is can be longer or shorter.
What determines the length of a planets year?
distance from a source of light and how long it takes to orbit that source
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.
How many minutes are in an hour on Jupiter?
60. The length of the year and the length of the day on Jupiter will differ from that of Earth because a year is the length of time it takes to complete a circuit around the sun and a day is the length of time it takes to rotate on its axis. However, hours, minutes, and seconds are units of time that do not change on other planets.
What is the length of earth's revolution around the sun?

What determiners the length of a year on earth?
A revolution of the Earth around the Sun.
What is the suns length of day?
