Day and night for planets refers to their period of rotation. All planets rotate and therefore all planets have day and night. On Earth Day and night take 23hrs 56 minutes. On Jupiter day and night lasts for 9.8 (Earth) hrs. Venus and Mercury are interesting. One Venusian day/night lasts for 243 Earth Days which is actually longer than the Venusian year. A day/night on Mercury lasts for 58 Earth days which is about 2/3 year. I am glad I live on Earth!.
