The length of time it takes to complete one full rotation
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.
The planet's rotational period is the only thing that determines the length of one day. (mostly - it also is dependent on how fast the planet orbits the sun. If it orbits quickly, the "day" will be measurably less than the time for one full rotation.)
Everywhere: the length of the day is always 24 hours irrespective of latitude & longitude since the angular rotation of the planet is 360º per 24hours. The DAYLIGHT length changes seasonally and proportionally to latitude, but the DAY length is constant.
The length of the day would change if either the rotational speed of the the planet or the orbital distance from the sun changed. However, if you mean what factors affect the length of daylight, then that is different.
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.
No
Because of the difference in speed of rotation of each planet.

Take the length of the planet's orbit, divide it by the speed at which the planet is orbiting and VOILA! The "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.
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.
by the rotation of the planet
It is the rotation of the planet one complete revolution that determines the length of a day.
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.
er..24 hours... what planet do you live on?
mars
