A year is how long it takes Earth to orbit the Sun, and for all practical purposes, you may regard that as 365 and 1/4 days. Other planets take different time periods to orbit the Sun.

Does the distance from the sun affect how long a year is on that planet?

a year is determined on how long the planet takes to orbit the sun. When calculating the year of a planet we use earth days. __________________ Yes, distance counts. The farther a planet is from the sun, the longer it takes that planet to complete one full orbit.

Is there a relationship between the length of planet's year and the distance of that planet from the sun?

Yes. A year is how long it takes for Earth to orbit (go the whole way around) the sun. So if it's further out, then it takes longer to orbit, thus a longer year.

How are the length of a planet year and planet distance from the sun?

A planet year is defined as the time it takes a planet to make one complete revolution in its orbit around the sun. The farther away from the sun a planet is, the larger its orbit. The larger its orbit, the longer (more days) it takes to go around the sun. Thus, the farther away a planet is from the sun, the longer its year will be.
