The Earth spins around its axis each day, not each year. That is why the Sun "rises" and "sets". One Earth year it the time it takes the Earth to travel 360 degrees around the Sun. I say Earth year because each planet has its own length of year due to different distances from the Sun and different rates of travel. But your answer in short is no, a day is the amount of time it takes for a planet to rotate on its axis.
Comment: The rotation period of a planet is called a "sidereal day". There is also the "solar day" which is based on the time it takes the Sun to complete one apparent journey around the sky. That depends on a planet's orbital motion as well as on its rotation period.

What determines the length of the planets year?
The eight planets are in order in their various places. If a planet is closer to the Sun, it will have a shorter orbit and therefore will take less time to complete its orbit. If a planet is farther away from the Sun, it will have a longer orbit and will take more time to complete its orbit. For example, Earth, the third planet from the Sun and takes just a year to revolutionize it, but since Uranus, the seventh planet, is farther away from the Sun, it will take 81 years to complete its orbit.
What is it called when a planet complete spin on its axis?
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.
What a planet rotates on?
A planet rotates on its axis, an imaginary line that runs from its North Pole to its South Pole. This rotation determines the length of a day on the planet.
What determines how much gravity on a planet has?
Its mass. More mass=more gravity Also the distance from the planet's center to its surface, i.e. its radius.
What determines the path of a planet around the sun?
The path of a planet around the sun is determined by its initial velocity and the gravitational force between the planet and the sun. The combination of these factors results in the planet following an elliptical orbit around the sun due to the balance of gravitational attraction and the planet's inertia.
What determines the length of an entire year on a planet?
The time it takes for any given planet to make one complete revolution around its sun determines the length of its year.
What property of a planet determines its length of year?
The time it takes to go around its solar systems sun.

What determines a planet's length of a month?
The concept of a "month" doesn't really apply to any planet except the Earth. On Earth the month is closely connected to the Phases of our Moon. A month is not like a "day" or a "year" which depend on times of rotation and revolution of a planet.
What cycle determines a day on a planet?
one rotation of its sun
What determines a planet's seasons?
Distance from the sun during rotation.
What determines the length of the planets year?

What determines the length of day on a planet?
How long it spins on it's axis
What determines a year?
12 months is a year .
How are planets distances from the sun generally related to the length of their year and their period of revolution?
The distance a planet is from the Sun relates to the length of the planet's year because it determines the time it takes for the planet to complete one revolution around the Sun. A planet's "year" is the time taken to orbit the Sun once. The further a planet is from the Sun, the further it must travel to complete an orbit. Also, a planet moves more slowly when it is further from the Sun. The mathematical equation for all this is given by Kepler's "Third Law of Planetary Motion". Earth takes about 365.25 days to complete a revolution. So, our year is 365 days with 366 days in a "leap year".
