Well, basically different planets take longer to orbit the Sun. For example, Jupiter takes longer to orbit than earth, so Jupiter has a longer year. On Venus, a day lasts longer than a year as it takes longer to spin on its axis that to orbit the sun.

What planets days last longer than its years?

Pluto(i think)


Why are days longer and shorter on different planets?

Rotation of planets depends on their history of being hit by other planetoids ... thus it is entirely random.


How long does it take all the planets to make a complete rotation?

Mercury, Days to orbit sun = 87.97, Years to orbit sun= 0.24 Venus, Days to orbit sun = 224.70, Years to orbit sun= 0.62 Earth, Days to orbit sun = 365.26, Years to orbit sun= 1.00 Mars, Days to orbit sun = 686.97, Years to orbit sun= 1.88 Jupiter, Days to orbit sun = 4331.57, Years to orbit sun= 11.86 Saturn, Days to orbit sun = 10759.22, Years to orbit sun= 29.46 Uranus, Days to orbit sun = 30799.10, Years to orbit sun= 84.32 Neptune, Days to orbit sun = 60190.00, Years to orbit sun= 164.79


The planets revolve around the sun once during each what?

The planets revolve around the sun each year. The year for each planet is different because it either takes the planet longer or shorter to get around the sun than other planets. The year of each panet is mesured by how many Earth days or years it takes to get around the sun.Length of Planetary Year in Earth Days/Years:Mercury: 88 daysVenus: 225 daysEarth: 365.25 daysMars: 687 days or 1.88 yearsJupiter: 4,331.5 days or 11.86 yearsSaturn: 10,832 days or 29.46 yearsUranus: 30,799 days or 84 yearsNeptune: 60,190 days or 165 yearsPluto (dwarf planet): 90,410.5 days or 247.7 years

Why does it take so long for all eight planets to orbit around the sun?

It depends on the planet and how fast it's going. Also, planets further from the sun have a longer path to travel. for example: Mercury only takes 88 days because it has a shorter path than all the other planets. Earth takes 1 year.Here are all the orbital periods of the planets measured in Earth days and Earth years:Mercury: 87.97 days (0.2 years)Venus : 224.70 days (0.6 years)Earth: 365.26 days (1 year)Mars: 686.98 days (1.9 years)Jupiter: 4,332.82 days (11.9 years)Saturn: 10,755.70 days (29.5 years)Uranus: 30,687.15 days (84 years)Neptune: 60,190.03 days (164.8 years)


How frequently do the planets revolve around the sun?

The approximate orbital period of the 8 planets in Earth days and years: Mercury : 88 days (0.24 year) Venus: 225 days (0.615 year) Earth : 365.25 days (1 year) Mars : 687 Earth days (1.88 years) Jupiter: 4333 days (11.86 years) Saturn: 10759 days (29.46 years) Uranus: 30799 days (84.32 years) Neptune: 60190 days (164.79 years) *Dwarf planet Pluto: 90613 days (248.09 years)
