A year is a measure of the time it takes a planet to make one complete circle (circuit) around the Sun. Each planet in our Solar system has a different length year.
To make things simple, astronomers can use the number of Earth years a planet takes to orbit the Sun once. Everyone understands time expressed in Earth days.

Mercury, the closest planet to the sun, has an orbital period (year) equal to 88 Earth days.
Which terrestrial planet has the longest year?
Pluto has the longest year, if it was still a planet that is, equal to 248.76 Earth years. Since Pluto is no longer considered a planet, the planet with the longest year is Neptune, at 164.8 Earth years per revolution around the Sun.
A year is only 88 earth days on which planet?
Mercury
Is the year on every planet the same as earth?
what planet has a simular year as earth
If 1 Planet X year is the same as 500 earth years and the time proportions are the same as earth's how many earth hours are in a planet X's hours and how many earth days are in a planet X's days?
The ratio will always be the same so the answer will be 500 to both questions
Which planet in the solar system has the same amount of days in a year as earth?
saturn
Are years on other planets the same length?
No. Every planet has different length years. The farther a planet is from the sun, the longer year it has. Mercury's year is only 88 of our days. Earth's year is exactly 1 year long. Jupiter's year is about 12 of our years, and Pluto's year is 248 of them.
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.
What planet has a year 248 earth years long?
The dwarf planet Pluto is the planet with a year 248 earth years long.
What planet has a year 280 earth years long?
The dwarf planet Haumea is the planet with a year 280 earth years long.
What planet has a year 310 earth years long?
The dwarf planet Makemake is the planet with a year 310 earth years long.
What cycle determines a year on a planet?
A "year" on earth turned out to be the period of the earth's orbital revolution around the sun, although the word was invented long before any knowledge of the structure of the solar system or the earth's place in it. By analogy, the same word is typically used to refer to the period of orbital revolution of any other planet.
What planet has 29 day year?
No planet has. (Planet Saturn has a year lasting about 29 Earth years.)
Which planet has 84 earth days in a year?
The planet nearest to having this is Mercury.Actually, Mercury has nearly 88 Earth days in its year.Also, the planet Uranus has about 84 Earth Years in its year.
About how long is a year on planet Mercury compared to Earth?
0.2408 of an Earth year.
