What causes the length of a year on a planet?

The length of a year, for any planet, is the amount of time that it takes for that planet to complete one orbit of the sun. That, in turn, depends only upon the distance of that planet from the sun. The closer the planet is to the sun, the shorter the year. The farther the planet is from the sun, the longer the year. It takes a certain amount of orbital speed to counteract the gravitational attraction of the sun. And similarly, if a planet is moving faster in its orbit, there will be correspondingly more centrifugal force, causing the planet to move farther from the sun. Orbital mechanics makes it all work out.

A year on a planet is based on the amount of time for a planet to do what?

A year is the amount of time that a planet takes to orbit the sun (go around it). So a planet that is closer to the sun will have a shorter year than a further out planet because the closer planet orbits quicker.
