A day is the period of time it takes the Earth to spin (rotation) and return to the same position of the overhead Sun. This is the "solar day" that is about 24 hours.
A year is the period of time that it takes the Earth to complete one orbit (revolution) of the Sun.
The comparison between the two is about 365.2425 days per year. The extra fractions of a day are combined every four years as a leap day, February 29.

*The "solar day" (time taken for the Sun to go from one noon to the next) is longer than the "sidereal day" (time of rotation observed away from Earth, as seen in the positions of the stars) because the Earth is moving around the Sun. The actual rotation period is about 23 hours, 56 minutes, and 4.1 seconds. We use the "mean solar day" to average out the natural variations in the Earth's orbital speed, as determined by its distance from the Sun.
What else can I help you with?
Do all planets in the Solar system have the same length of the year?
no
True or false the length of a planet's year increases as its distance from the sun increases?
True. The length of time that it takes to complete one orbit around the Sun is directly related to the distance of the orbit from the Sun.
Which question should you ask to find out the length of a planets year?

How is a year different on each planet?
A year on each planet is determined by its orbital period around the sun. For example, a year on Earth is around 365 days, while a year on Mars is about 687 Earth days. The length of a year on a planet is influenced by its distance from the sun and its orbital speed.
What is a year called for all eight planets?
A year on a planet is the time it takes for that planet to complete one orbit around the sun. For example, on Earth, a year is about 365 days. The length of a year varies for each of the eight planets in our solar system based on their distance from the sun and their orbital speed.
How is the length of the year is determined?
A planets year is the time it take to make one orbit of its star.
What makes the length of the year increase and decrease why?
The length of a year on Earth is determined by its orbit around the sun. The gravitational pull from other celestial bodies, such as the moon and planets, can cause slight variations in Earth's orbit, leading to changes in the length of a year. These variations are the reason for leap years and the gradual increase in the length of our year over thousands of years.

True or false the length of a planet's year increases as its distance from the sun increases?
True. The length of time that it takes to complete one orbit around the Sun is directly related to the distance of the orbit from the Sun.

Is this true or false the length of a planet's year is determined by how fast it spins?
False, the speed it spins on it's axis determinds the length of day. The speed it rotates the sun determinds the length of it's year.
How may time does the earth go around the sun in a year?
Once. that is how the length of our year determined.
What is the length of a year on Uranus given in earth years?
84 known moons and planets
How has the length of the astronomical unit been most accurately determined?
Radar was reflected off the surfaces of nearby planets whose distances are known in astronomical units.
How is a year different on each planet?
A year on each planet is determined by its orbital period around the sun. For example, a year on Earth is around 365 days, while a year on Mars is about 687 Earth days. The length of a year on a planet is influenced by its distance from the sun and its orbital speed.
What is the length of time it takes planetary objects to revolve around the sun?
Typically, this length of time is called a "year". Each planet's year is a different length than that of the other planets and increases as the planet is further from the Sun.
How many days are a year on the dwarf planets?
There is no constant year length for planets, dwarf type or otherwise. A planet's period (year length) depends entirely upon how long it take to orbit its star. Depending on the planet and its situation, that might take a matter of a few days, or a few years, or even centuries.
