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 !
Venus
Neptune's year is about 164 Earth years long.
The length of one day on Venus is the same as 243 Earth days. This is because Venus rotates backwards compared to the other planets in the solar system. A day on Venus is actually longer than a year on Venus.
Mercury has the longest cycle of day and night among the terrestrial planets. A day on Mercury lasts about 176 Earth days, which is longer than a year on Mercury. This is because Mercury rotates very slowly on its axis.
Venus. That's the "sidereal day" (rotation period). However, Venus has a "solar day" that's shorter than its year. Mercury is the planet with a "solar day" that's longer than its year.
yes when its on other planets ,it can be.
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).
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.
Yes, it is possible for a planet's day to be longer than its year. This situation can occur when a planet rotates very slowly on its axis compared to the time it takes to orbit around its star. Venus is an example of a planet with a longer day (243 Earth days) than its year (225 Earth days).
Venus
1 year is longer than 1 day
Neptune's year is about 164 Earth years long.
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.
Well, basically different planets take longer to orbit the Sun. For example, Jupiter takes longer to orbit than earth, so Jupiter has a longer year. On Venus, a day lasts longer than a year as it takes longer to spin on its axis that to orbit the sun.
The length of one day on Venus is the same as 243 Earth days. This is because Venus rotates backwards compared to the other planets in the solar system. A day on Venus is actually longer than a year on Venus.
Venus is the only planet in our solar system where a day (rotation on its axis) is longer than a year (orbit around the sun). A day on Venus lasts around 243 Earth days, while a year (orbital period) is approximately 225 Earth days.
Mercury has the longest cycle of day and night among the terrestrial planets. A day on Mercury lasts about 176 Earth days, which is longer than a year on Mercury. This is because Mercury rotates very slowly on its axis.
