Mercury. Mercury takes 88 Earth days to go around the Sun, so its year is 88 Earth days. It spins very slowly on its axis though, once every 58.6 Earth days relative to background stars. A solar (apparent) day on Mercury takes 176 Earth days, because of this slow spin relative to the time taken to orbit. The spin of Venus relative to the background stars is slower, taking 243 Earth days to spin once on its axis. But since its spin is retrograde (clockwise as viewed from above the north pole) and in the opposite direction of orbit around the Sun, the apparent solar day is less, at about Earth 116.75 days.

How do day and night affect our planet?
During the day, sunlight provides both light and heat. At night, it is dark and it cools off.
How is a day and night produced on the earth?
Day and night on Earth are caused by the rotation of the planet on its axis. As Earth spins, different parts of the planet receive sunlight or darkness, creating the cycle of day and night. This rotation takes approximately 24 hours to complete.

Which planet has the longest cycle of day and night of the terrestrial planets?
Mercury has the longest cycle of day and night among the terrestrial planets. A day on Mercury lasts about 176 Earth days, which is longer than a year on Mercury. This is because Mercury rotates very slowly on its axis.
Which outer planet has the longest day?
Uranus has the longest day of any planet in the solar system, with a rotation period of about 17 hours and 14 minutes.

Answer to the shortest day and longest night in south Africa 2010?
20th June is the shortest day and longest night and it falls on a Sunday, so have a sleep in!
How does a planet create day and night?
During its rotation around its own axis half of the planet faces the sun [day] and half faces away from the sun [night] As the planet continues to turn so night slowly turns into day and then day into night and so on.
When is the biggest day and night?
If you mean the longest: When you have the longest day, you'll also have the shortest night, and vice versa. In the northern hemisphere, the longest day is around June 21, and the shortest day is around December 21. In the southern hemisphere, it is the other way round.
When is the longest night and shortest day in 1996?

How does space have day and night?
It doesn't. Day and night are planetary phenomena caused by the rotation of the planet.
What word is used when the days and nights are at their most extreme?
Winter solstice is the longest night, summer solstice is the longest day. Opposite is equinox when night and day are exactly the same length.
What type of movement causes night and day to happen on all planets?
Rotation of the planet on its axis causes night and day to happen on all planets. This rotation causes different parts of the planet to face the sun at different times, leading to periods of light (day) and darkness (night).
