A year by definition is the time it takes a planet to orbit the Sun, therefore a planet year is different depending on what planet you are discussing. a planet closer to the Sun would have a shorter year (less distance to travel) whereas a planet farther from the Sun would have a longer year (more distance to travel)
This is the time taken for the planet to orbit once around the sun. An earth year is still an earth year, regardless of what plaet you are on.
The period of time that it takes for a planet in our solar system to make a complete revolution around the sun.

As such due to their differing orbits this can vary considerably from an 88 day year for Mercury (approx. 1/4 of an Earth year) up to a 90,613 day year for Pluto (approx. 248 Earth years).
