The length of a planets "day" is another way of saying the amount of time it takes a planet to rotate once on it's axis. Each planet does this in it's own good time. There are some basic principles behind it, but overall, there is no "one answer" we can pinpoint as to why planets rotate at different speeds. They simply do.

What is the difference between planets that rotations time are shorter than earth to planets rotation time that are longer than earth?
The outer planets all rotate faster than the inner planets. Each of them has a rotational period shorter than an Earth day. All of the inner planets have rotational periods longer than one Earth day. The outer planets are mostly made up of hydrogen, helim, and ice, and they are much larger than the inner planets which are mostly iron and various types of rock.
What outer planets have days Longer than 24hrs?
None of the four outer planets, they all have rotational periods shorter than 24 hours. The dwarf planet Pluto has a rotational period of 6.4 days though.
Which two planets have the same length of day which is shorter than an earth day?
The two planets that have the same length of and Earth day but shorter than a Earth day are Neptune and Uranus because a Earth day on Neptune is 18 hours and 30 minuets Earth time, And Uranus is 17.24 hours. Thus Neptune and Uranus is closest to an Earth day being below 23 hours and 56 min (24 hours rounding).
Why are days on Jupiter shorter than the days on Earth?
Days on Jupiter are shorter than those on Earth because Jupiter has a much faster rotation, completing a full rotation on its axis in just under 10 hours. Earth, in comparison, takes about 24 hours to complete one full rotation. This difference in rotation speeds is why Jupiter's days are shorter.
Eath has a longer year than mercury or Jupiter?
No, Earth actually has a shorter year than Jupiter. Earth takes about 365.25 days to complete one orbit around the sun, while Jupiter takes approximately 11.9 Earth years for a single orbit. Mercury has the shortest year of all the planets in our solar system, completing an orbit around the sun in about 88 Earth days.
What is the difference between planets that rotations time are shorter than earth to planets rotation time that are longer than earth?

The outer planets are mostly made up of hydrogen, helim, and ice, and they are much larger than the inner planets which are mostly iron and various types of rock.
How many planets have a shorter day than earth?
2
What is the effect of the fast rotation of earth on its axis?
The earth spins faster than the planets Mercury and Venus, meaning that its apparent days are shorter (24 hours).
How many days shorter is one year on mercury than one year on earth?
177 days shorter on mercury than the earth
Which have shorter days than earth?
pluto
Which planets have more than 1000 days in a year?
Neptune's year is about 164 Earth years long.
Would a mercury year be longer or shorter than a earth year?
Shorter. Mercury has a shorter orbit than earth and 1 day in mercury = 59 days on Earth. 1 year on mercury= 88 days on earth.
How does a year on earth differ with other planets?
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.
What outer planets have days Longer than 24hrs?
None of the four outer planets, they all have rotational periods shorter than 24 hours. The dwarf planet Pluto has a rotational period of 6.4 days though.
Which two planets have the same length of day which is shorter than an earth day?

Which planet has a shorter than earth?
if it on our solar system i prefer pluto but rumored say its been wash out by a large atreiod
Are inner planets large or small?
The inner, or Terrestrial planets are very small in comparison to the outer, or Jovian planets. The smallest Jovian planet, Uranus, is 14.5 times larger than the largest Terrestrial planet, Earth.
