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.
Does venus have less days than earth?
A year on Venus is shorter than a year on Earth, but a "day" on Venus is much longer than a day on Earth. I'm not sure exactly what you were trying to ask, but that should about cover it.
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.
Can a planets day be longer than a planets year?
Yes - a prime example is the planet Venus... Its 'day' is 243 Earth days, and it's 'year' is 225 Earth days, meaning a day on Venus is longer than it's 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 is the planet that its year is longer than its day?
All planet's years are longer than their days except for Venus.You probably meant to ask which planet's day is longer than its year, and the answer is Venus.
What is Venus's rotation?
It takes it 243 Earth days for 1 rotation! That is longer than its year!
What planet has days longer than earth years?
No planet in our solar system has days longer than one Earth year. Venus has the longest day -- it's 243 Earth days.
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 planet's days are longer than one earth year?
None. Venus has the longest rotation period of 243 days, less than a year.
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.
