Distance to the sun does not regulate the length of a day, it's actually the circumference of the orbiting body. Since one full revolution is one day and one night, the larger the circumference the longer the day would be; the converse also holds true.
The orbit determines the length of the year. Mercury, the closest planet to the sun, has the shortest year since it has the shortest orbit (path around the sun), while Neptune has a much longer year since it is the furthest from the sun and therefore has a longer path to travel.

Why would it be hard to discover a planet thay is closer to the sun than Mercury?
Why would it be hard to discover a planet that is closer to the sun than mercury
Do we have seasons because earth is closer to the sun?
We do not have seasons because the earth is closer to the sun, we have seasons because the earth's axis rotation determines the amount of sunlight we get each day.
Is earth closer to the sun then the moon?
Yes - and no !... The moon orbits the earth - so - there will be times each day, when it's closer to the sun than the earth is. During the earth's 'night time' - the moon is further away from the sun.
What dry planet becomes very hot during the day this is due to its closeness to the sun?
Mars because it is closer to the sun
What would happen to the Earth's oceans if the earth was closer to the sun?
oceans would dry

What would Neptune's orbit be if it orbited 96 percent closer to the Sun than it does?
Neptune would orbit at 111,920,000 miles if the orbit was 96% closer to the Sun.
Is the Bahamas closer to the sun than Nebraska?
Depends on what time of day it is.
Is sun is coming closer day by day?
No, the Sun is not coming closer day by day. It remains at a relatively constant distance from Earth, about 93 million miles away, due to the balance between gravitational attraction and its outward radiation pressure.
Which of the outer planets is closer to the sun?
That would be Jupiter.
Would earth be hotter if it were closer to the sun?
Yes
What would earth be like if it was closer to the sun?
Warmer
Why does the sun come out every day?
the rotation of earth brings the sun closer to earth making it rise
Is shadow short or long at midday?
At midday, shadows are typically at their shortest length because the sun is directly overhead. As the sun moves closer to the horizon later in the day, the shadows become longer.
Why can't we live closer to the sun?
The closer an object is to the sun, the more heat it receives. If Earth were too close to the sun it would be too hot to support life.
What would happen if the sun orbits like the earth?
the sun moves closer to earth
Do we have seasons because earth is closer to the sun?
We do not have seasons because the earth is closer to the sun, we have seasons because the earth's axis rotation determines the amount of sunlight we get each day.
