We use the word "day" to indicate the time between sunrises. On Earth, the "day" is 24 hours.
Planets that rotate more rapidly have shorter days, while planets that rotate slowly have longer days.
If Earth rotated faster, days would be shorter because the planet would complete a full rotation in less time. This would result in shorter daylight hours and potentially disrupt ecosystems, weather patterns, and daily routines.
Venus has a day that is longer than its year. Venus takes about 243 Earth days to complete one rotation on its axis (day), but it only takes about 225 Earth days to orbit the sun (year).
A planet completing one full rotation on its axis is called a "day." This is what determines the length of a day on that planet.
Gravity does not directly cause day and night. Earth's rotation on its axis is what causes day and night. As Earth rotates, different parts of the planet are either facing towards the Sun (daytime) or away from the Sun (nighttime). Gravity is the force that keeps objects, including Earth, in orbit around the Sun.
There isn't such a planet called planet trio, not in our solar system at least. A planet trio refers to three planets seen in the same area of the sky, tightly bunched as viewed from earth. For example, you may see mercury, Venus and Jupiter all close together in the sky and could call it a planet trio.
It's to do with the length of time a planet takes to spin, a planet that spins on its axis faster than the earth will have a shorter apparent day.
venus
Jupiter has the shortest "day" of any planet in the solar system.
The length of a planet's day is directly related to its rate of rotation on its axis. A faster rate of rotation results in a shorter day, while a slower rate of rotation leads to a longer day. This relationship is determined by the planet's mass and distribution of mass.
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
That depends where you are on the planet. the length of day is shorter the further away from the equator you are.
There are four actually. Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
Venus, the second planet from the sun. One day on Venus would be equivalent to 243 Earth days. However, the length of a Venusian year is shorter at 224.7 Earth days.
yes, it did. It made the day approximately 1.26 micro seconds shorter! Can you belive that??!!! I can't!!!
Mercury has a year that is shorter than its day. It takes Mercury about 88 Earth days to orbit the Sun, but it rotates on its axis so slowly that its day is much longer, lasting about 176 Earth days.
hmmm i dont know
the same thing that causes day and night on every other planet - it rotates.
