A year on Earth is longer than it is on two other planets,

and shorter than it is on the remaining five. The farther

a planet is from the sun, the longer its year is.

What is Earth's relative length of year?

A year here on planet Earth is 365 and a quarter days long. A "relative length of year" can only be given by comparison with some other object's year. Since we live on the Earth, we usually compare the years of other planets to that of Earth, rather than the other way around. So the year of Mars is 1.88 Earth years and that of Venus is 0.615 Earth years. The year of Earth is 1.000 Earth years.


What planet has the shortest yea of the inner planets?

Mercury has the shortest year of all the inner planets, lasting only about 88 Earth days. This is due to its close proximity to the Sun, which results in faster orbits around it compared to other planets.


Why does the earth have seasons while other planets do not?

Earth has seasons because its axis is tilted relative to its orbit around the sun. This tilt causes different parts of the Earth to receive various amounts of sunlight throughout the year, resulting in the changing of seasons. Other planets may not have seasons if they have a less pronounced tilt or different orbital characteristics.


How do the periods of rotation and revolution for the gas giant planets differ from those of earth?

It is so much greater because the planets are made out of gas and gas are inside a wind storm or should i say a wind cycle and that is my answer.


How is a year on a PLANET?

On Earth, a year is the time Earth takes to travel once around the Sun. The term "year", applied to other planets, may either refer to a standard Earth year, which is a very convenient unit of time, or to the time the planet takes to go once around the Sun. As an example, a "year" on Jupiter takes about 12 Earth years.

Does the earth have a longer year than other planets?

No the earth has the shortest axis.


Are there any planets that are less then a light year away from Earth?

All of the planets in our Solar System are less than a light year away, but no other planets around other stars are within that distance.


How long is a year on other planets?

A year on other planets varies depending on the planet's orbit around the sun. For example, a year on Mercury is about 88 Earth days, while a year on Mars is about 687 Earth days. The farther a planet is from the sun, the longer its year typically is.


Which planet is similar to Mars?

Mars is very similar to Earth. Mars' year and day are very similar to Earth compared to other planets.

Time needed to rotate around the sun?

One year for planet Earth, different times for each of the other planets.


What two planets have seasons?

Earth and Mars are the two planets in our solar system that have seasons. These seasons are caused by the tilt of the planets' axes, which affects the amount of sunlight reaching different parts of the planet at different times of the year.


How long does it take an object to go around the sun?

Depends on distance Earth takes one year The two closer planets (Mercury and Venus) take less than a year The other planets take more than a year


Why do other planets have a different number of days compared to other planets?

If you mean in a year, then it's because it takes different times to circle the sun then planet earth (because they are more far away or closer).
