During the time it takes Earth to rotate 360°, it advances about 1° in its orbit of the sun, so in order for the same point to face the sun again, Earth has to rotate 361°. The extra degree of rotation takes about four minutes.

What is longer a sidereal day or solar day?
a solar day
What planets days are longer than your year?
Venus "sidereal day" is longer than its year. Mercury's "solar day" is longer than its year. However, there is no planet in our solar system with a day longer than our year on Earth.
How long is a solar day on Mars?
The solar day (or sol) on Mars is only slightly longer than an Earth day: 24 hours, 39 minutes, and 35.244 seconds.
If it is a cloudy day then how you will get solar energy?
Quite simply, you get less solar energy than when it is not cloudy. For example, a solar stove can still heat water, but it will no longer boil.Quite simply, you get less solar energy than when it is not cloudy.

Mars length of one day?
Mars has a similar day length to Earth, a little longer at 24h 39m 35s (apparent solar day).

What planets days are longer than your year?
Venus "sidereal day" is longer than its year. Mercury's "solar day" is longer than its year. However, there is no planet in our solar system with a day longer than our year on Earth.
Which is longer the stellar day the sidereal day or the solar day?
Usually the solar day is the longest. The other two are very similar in length to each other. For example, the solar day on Earth is about 4 minutes longer than the other two "days". However, for the planet Venus the solar day is the shortest. That's because Venus has retrograde rotation.
Which planet's day is closest to that of an earth day?
A "sol", or solar day on Mars, is only about 40 minutes longer than a solar day on Earth. This is by far the closest to being the same as Earth's of any planet in the solar system.
How long is a solar day on Mars?
The solar day (or sol) on Mars is only slightly longer than an Earth day: 24 hours, 39 minutes, and 35.244 seconds.
Why is the solar day on Mercury longer than earth's solar day?
1) Mercury rotates very slowly. It takes Mercury about 58.6 Earth days to rotate just once. That's the length of the sidereal day. 2) Mercury has a solar day of about 176 Earth days in length. So, Mercury's solar day is much longer than its long sidereal day. That's because of the combination of slow rotation with a short orbital period (about 88 Earth days).
Is a day on Jupiter longer on another planet or shorter?
Jupiter has the shortest "day" of any planet in the solar system.
Do any planets have longer days or years?
No two planets in our solar system have the same length of day or length of year. Compared with Earth, these planets have longer years: Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune. These have much longer days than Earth: Mercury and Venus. Mars has a day that's slightly longer than Earth's day. Depending on the particular definition of "day" that is used, two planets have a day that's longer than than that planet's year. They are Mercury (solar day) and Venus (sidereal day).
What a day about as long as a day on earth?
Mars has a similar day length to Earth, a little longer at 24h 39m 35s (apparent solar day)

How many hours is a Mars day?
24 Hours and 37 Minutes Improvement: That's the "sidereal day". The "solar day" is about 2 minutes longer.
