On the planet Venus - it takes longer for Venus to make one rotation than it does for it to go around the sun once, so Venus' day is LONGER than it's year. Imagine that?
Venus "sidereal day" is longer than its year. Mercury's "solar day" is longer than its year. However, there is no planet in our solar system with a day longer than our year on Earth.
Yes, it is possible for a planet's day to be longer than its year. This situation can occur when a planet rotates very slowly on its axis compared to the time it takes to orbit around its star. Venus is an example of a planet with a longer day (243 Earth days) than its year (225 Earth days).
The outer planets all rotate faster than the inner planets. Each of them has a rotational period shorter than an Earth day. All of the inner planets have rotational periods longer than one Earth day. The outer planets are mostly made up of hydrogen, helim, and ice, and they are much larger than the inner planets which are mostly iron and various types of rock.
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.
Venus is the only planet in our solar system where a day (rotation on its axis) is longer than a year (orbit around the sun). A day on Venus lasts around 243 Earth days, while a year (orbital period) is approximately 225 Earth days.
yes when its on other planets ,it can be.
No two planets in our solar system have the same length of day or length of year. Compared with Earth, these planets have longer years: Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune. These have much longer days than Earth: Mercury and Venus. Mars has a day that's slightly longer than Earth's day. Depending on the particular definition of "day" that is used, two planets have a day that's longer than than that planet's year. They are Mercury (solar day) and Venus (sidereal day).
No, a planet's day cannot be longer than its year. A day is defined as the time it takes for a planet to complete one full rotation on its axis, while a year is the time it takes for the planet to complete one orbit around its star. A planet's year is always longer than its day.
Venus "sidereal day" is longer than its year. Mercury's "solar day" is longer than its year. However, there is no planet in our solar system with a day longer than our year on Earth.

Venus
1 year is longer than 1 day
Neptune's year is about 164 Earth years long.

The length of one day on Venus is the same as 243 Earth days. This is because Venus rotates backwards compared to the other planets in the solar system. A day on Venus is actually longer than a year on Venus.
