Yes, it is possible for a planet's day to be longer than its year. This situation can occur when a planet rotates very slowly on its axis compared to the time it takes to orbit around its star. Venus is an example of a planet with a longer day (243 Earth days) than its year (225 Earth days).
Well, basically different planets take longer to orbit the Sun. For example, Jupiter takes longer to orbit than earth, so Jupiter has a longer year. On Venus, a day lasts longer than a year as it takes longer to spin on its axis that to orbit the sun.
Venus is the only planet in our solar system where a day (rotation on its axis) is longer than a year (orbit around the sun). A day on Venus lasts around 243 Earth days, while a year (orbital period) is approximately 225 Earth days.
One interesting fact about Venus is that a day on Venus is actually longer than a year on Venus. A Venusian day lasts 243 days, and a year is 224 days. That means that the day on Venus is 19 days longer than the year.
Venus takes 224.7 Earth days to revolve about the Sun and 243.02 Earth days to rotate about its axis (which it does clockwise, opposite to most of the other planets). This rotation period is a "sidereal day", the time to revolve around the Sun is a Venus "year". Mercury takes 88 Earth days to go around the Sun, so its year is 88 Earth days. It spins slowly, taking 58.6 Earth days. A "solar day" on Mercury takes 176 Earth days because of this slow spin relative to the time taken to orbit. So Venus has a sidereal day longer than its year and Mercury has a solar day longer than its year.
No two planets in our solar system have the same length of day or length of year. Compared with Earth, these planets have longer years: Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune. These have much longer days than Earth: Mercury and Venus. Mars has a day that's slightly longer than Earth's day. Depending on the particular definition of "day" that is used, two planets have a day that's longer than than that planet's year. They are Mercury (solar day) and Venus (sidereal day).
Neptune's year is about 164 Earth years long.
No, a planet's day cannot be longer than its year. A day is defined as the time it takes for a planet to complete one full rotation on its axis, while a year is the time it takes for the planet to complete one orbit around its star. A planet's year is always longer than its day.
Mars, with a orbital period of around 687 days, almost two Earth years (which would be 730 days).
A year on Earth is longer than it is on two other planets, and shorter than it is on the remaining five. The farther a planet is from the sun, the longer its year is.

yes when its on other planets ,it can be.
1 year is longer than 1 day
Well, basically different planets take longer to orbit the Sun. For example, Jupiter takes longer to orbit than earth, so Jupiter has a longer year. On Venus, a day lasts longer than a year as it takes longer to spin on its axis that to orbit the sun.
Venus is the only planet in our solar system where a day (rotation on its axis) is longer than a year (orbit around the sun). A day on Venus lasts around 243 Earth days, while a year (orbital period) is approximately 225 Earth days.
If you define a "year" for a planet as the length of time for it to make one revolution around the sun (the sidereal period) the "years" for the two planets are: Mercury 0.241 earth year (88.0 days) Venus 0.615 earth year (225 days) ... so Venus has a longer "year" than Mercury.
No the earth has the shortest axis.
