Because they are farther away from the sun, and the sun is what they revolve around, so they have a longer distance to go. That obviously makes the day longer on that planet, along with all other time measurements. Some planets take longer to revolve because of their distance to the sun. The further a planet is, the more distance it has to cover and the weaker the sun's gravitational pull is. Planets farther away from the sun move more slowly, and have more distance to cover.
