Because it goes slower and its orbit around the Sun is bigger, Jupiter's year

is longer than Earth's year.

What planet has the greatest similarity between the length of its day and the length of its year?

Venus. The "day" (rotation period or sidereal day) is longer than the year! Venus Sidereal day: 243 Earth days. Venus Year: 224.7 Earth days.


What is the rotational period of inner planets?

They are all different. Earth is fastest, at 23 hours 56 minutes; Venus is slowest, at 243 days. (In fact, the "day" on Venus is longer than the "year"!) There really isn't any relationship between the orbital distance and rotational period.


How does gravity affect length of day?

It doesn't. For instance ... Earth & Venus have almost the same gravity yet Venus' day is about a year long Whereas Mars has but a quarter of Earth's gravity and its day is almost identical.


Why is a winter day colder than a summer day even though we are closer to the sun in the winter?

Because the earth's axis is tilted. From September to March, the Northern hemisphere is tilted away from the sun. This means that the sun is at a lower angle and doesn't heat the atmosphere as well as it does in summer -- so it's colder.


How many light years does it take to reach Venus from Earth not in light minutes I need light years please?

You are confused. "Light-year" is a measurement of DISTANCE, the distance that light travels in one year; it is not a time period. Venus is, depending on where Venus and Earth are in our respective orbits, between 2 and 14 light-minutes away; light would take somewhere between 2 and 14 minutes to span the distance. You can convert easily minutes into years; there are 60 minutes in an hour, 24 hours in a day, and 365.26 days in a year.

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.


What planet has its years longer than its day?

Venus has a year that is longer than its day. A day on Venus is equivalent to 243 Earth days, while a year (orbital period around the Sun) on Venus is about 225 Earth days.


What planet have years longer than its days?

Earth, unless you meant days longer than years. In which case, that would be Venus.


How long are venus's days and years?

One interesting fact about Venus is that a day on Venus is actually longer than a year on Venus. A Venusian day lasts 243 days, and a year is 224 days. That means that the day on Venus is 19 days longer than the year.


How many earth days will make a venus day?

There are 243 Earth days for a Venus day - but a Venus year is just under 225 Earth days. Therefore - a day on Venus is longer than a year !


Why is a year longer or shorter on Venus then on Earth?

A year is shorter on Venus than on Earth. A year is the time taken for a planet to orbit the Sun. Venus has a smaller orbit and a higher orbital speed.


Which planet venus or Pluto would have a longer year than the earth?

Pluto.


Which planets take longer then earth to complete one rotation?

Venus takes longer than Earth to complete one rotation on its axis. A day on Venus is longer than a year on Venus, as it rotates very slowly clockwise. Mercury also takes longer than Earth to complete one rotation due to its slow spin.


What takes longer one year in venus or mercuty?

If you define a "year" for a planet as the length of time for it to make one revolution around the sun (the sidereal period) the "years" for the two planets are: Mercury 0.241 earth year (88.0 days) Venus 0.615 earth year (225 days) ... so Venus has a longer "year" than Mercury.


What does a day on venus lasts 243 earth days mean?

It means that it takes Venus approximately 243 Earth days to complete one full rotation on its axis. This is longer than a Venusian year, which is about 225 Earth days. As a result, a day on Venus is longer than a year on Venus.


What planet's year is shorter than its day?

Venus has a day that is longer than its year. Venus takes about 243 Earth days to complete one rotation on its axis (day), but it only takes about 225 Earth days to orbit the sun (year).


What planet's year is longer than 365 days?

Every planet's year is longer than 365 days except for Mercury and Venus. Earth's year is aproximately 365.25 days, people just combined them for an extra day every 4 years.
