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!.

Do the other planets in the solar system have day and night?
Yes. Since all planets in the solar system spin on an axis, every planet has cycles of day and night.

Which planet has the longest cycle of day and night of the terrestrial planets?
Mercury. It has the longest cycle of ALL the planets, not just terrestrial.
Why the dwarf planets have moons?
planets have moons for day and night
What type of movement causes night and day to happen on all planets?

Do neptune have nights and days?
Neptune has a day and night cycle as does all the planets. Neptune's day and night are shorter than Earth's because it takes Neptune only 16 hours to complete a rotation.
What part of the solar system is responsible for causing day and night?
The spin (axial rotation) of planets causes day and night.
Why can you see planets and stars on a night?
The reason you can see planets and stars at night is that their light is faint and the brightness of the sun obscures them during the day. At night, when the sun is not visible, the fainter light from the planets and stars can more readily be seen.
