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?

Can a planets day be longer then its year?
Yes. In fact, Venus has a longer day than its year.
What planets days are longer than your year?
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.
Why do planets have different numbers of days in their years?
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 is the difference between planets that rotations time are shorter than earth to planets rotation time that are longer than earth?
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.
A day is longer than a year on this planet?
Venus!

Can a day be longer than its year?
yes when its on other planets ,it can be.
Can a planets day be longer than a planets year?
Yes - a prime example is the planet Venus... Its 'day' is 243 Earth days, and it's 'year' is 225 Earth days, meaning a day on Venus is longer than it's year !
Do any planets have longer days or years?
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).

This planets year is shorter than its day?
Venus
What is longer days or a year?
1 year is longer than 1 day

How can a planets year could be shorter than its day?
hmmm i dont know
A day is longer than a year on this planet?
Venus!
Is Saturn's day longer than that of the rest of the planets?
No, it actually has one of the shortest days, 11 Earth hours.
