Yes, all the planets which have their axis of rotation at right angles(or close to 90`) to the orbital plane will experience night and day in the same way as earth. Uranus is the exception, because its axis is almost parallel with its plane of orbit, and the axis is always pointing in the same direction. In other words, it's kind of "laying on its side", and each pole gets half a year of sunlight. So, its "day" and "night" is not the result of its rotation , but of its orbit around the sun.

∙ 8y agoThe length of our periods of light and darkness is governed by our orbit round the sun, the earth's rotation on its axis, and the tilting that causes our seasons. Therefore, any other planet in our solar system (or any other similar system) would be subject to the same influence - and have differing periods of light and dark.

∙ 9y agoYes, if a planet has a rotational spin it will have a day and a night side. This is caused by one side of the planet facing away from the sun. All the planets in our solar system spin, and have a day and a night side. However, the moon does not rotate, one side is facing the earth and the other side is facing away. It is theoretically possible for a planet to not rotate, and thus would not have a day or night rotation.

Why is there day time and night time on mars?
Mars has day and night for the same reasons that Earth has day and night. Mars, like Earth, rotates on an axis. That means that the Mars is spinning like a top. As the planet spins, half of it is facing the sun, and the other half isn't. So the half that is facing the sun experiences daytime, and the other half has nighttime. The planet spins around so the the same half is facing the sun every 24.6 (almost 25) hours. This is the same way that we see night and day, except Earth spins a little faster, so we have a complete day and night every 24 hours.
How often does the sequence of day and night repeat?
It depends where you are on the planet. For most of the planet the day-night sequence is repeated every 24 hours. However at the poles the day night sequence is repeated only once every year.
How do day and night affect our planet?
During the day, sunlight provides both light and heat. At night, it is dark and it cools off.
How can you prove that the earth rotates on its axis?
we can prove that the earth rotates on its axis because we experience day time and night time/their is a change from day time to night time / night time to day time....
Which planet has the longest cycle of day and night?
The planet is Mercury. (Some people think it is Venus, but it is Mercury.)
What is the temperature of day and night for planet mercury?
350 degrees in the day time 170 degrees in the night time
What cause on day and night?
the same thing that causes day and night on every other planet - it rotates.
Why do earth have different time?
Because the planet moves around the sun, therefore the sun can not light the entire planet at the same time, and so the different parts of the planet have different times of day and night.
What planet has a star day and night?
no,planet has a star day and night
Is it day all over the world at the same time and night all over the world at the same time?
No, since our planet is spherical (ball-shaped) and we have only one sun, only half of the planet can be illuminated by the sun at any one time.
How does rotation causes day and night?
The sun shines on the Earth while it rotates, but it can't shine on the whole entire planet at the same time, so one side is day the other side is night

Why the planes get the sounds in the day time when compared with night time?
Planes make the same sounds whether in the day time or night time.
How does a planet create day and night?
During its rotation around its own axis half of the planet faces the sun [day] and half faces away from the sun [night] As the planet continues to turn so night slowly turns into day and then day into night and so on.
Which planet has a day almost the same length of time as earth?
mars
What causes a planet to have a year?
The suns mass makes it rotate itself, and anything in its gravitational pull spins around the sun and spinning at the same time. That is how we have Day, Night and Year.
How long is day time?
That varies with the time of year. About now its about the same as night time.
