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 planets days last longer than its years?

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.


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.


Why do all planets have a day and night?

Day and night for planets refers to their period of rotation. All planets rotate and therefore all planets have day and night. On Earth day and night take 23hrs 56 minutes. On Jupiter day and night lasts for 9.8 (Earth) hrs. Venus and Mercury are interesting. One Venusian day/night lasts for 243 Earth Days which is actually longer than the Venusian year. A day/night on Mercury lasts for 58 Earth days which is about 2/3 year. I am glad I live on Earth!.

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).


Can a planets day be longer than a planets year?

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.

How does a year on earth differ with other planets?

A year on Earth is longer than it is on two other planets, and shorter than it is on the remaining five. The farther a planet is from the sun, the longer its year is.

Which planet has the longest cycle of day and night of the terrestrial planets?

Mercury has the longest cycle of day and night among the terrestrial planets. A day on Mercury lasts about 176 Earth days, which is longer than a year on Mercury. This is because Mercury rotates very slowly on its axis.


Does the earth have a longer year than other planets?

No the earth has the shortest axis.


Why does Pluto have a longer year than other planets?
