Solar days are the times of days that are tracked on the calendar. The days are longest in December and June at the solstices, not in January or July.
Mercury has the 2nd longest "sidereal day" with a sidereal rotation period of 58.646 Earth days. The longest "sidereal day" day is Venus, with a sidereal rotation period of 243.018 Earth daysIf you use the "solar day" as your definition of "day", the order is reversed. Mercury then has the longest day and Venus has the second longest day.
Usually the solar day is the longest. The other two are very similar in length to each other. For example, the solar day on Earth is about 4 minutes longer than the other two "days". However, for the planet Venus the solar day is the shortest. That's because Venus has retrograde rotation.
The answer is NOT Venus. It is MERCURY. Venus takes longer to spin once than does Mercury. However Venus spins in the opposite direction to Mercury. The result is that Mercury has the longest "sunrise to sunrise" times.
An uranium day is approximately 243 Earth days long. Due to its slow rotation, Uranus has one of the longest day lengths among the planets in our solar system.
The length of a day on a planet would determine how long you sleep. Venus has the longest day in our solar system, lasting about 243 Earth days. So, if you were to live on Venus, you would have a much longer day to sleep through than on other planets.
Uranus has the longest day of any planet in the solar system, with a rotation period of about 17 hours and 14 minutes.
Mercury has the 2nd longest "sidereal day" with a sidereal rotation period of 58.646 Earth days. The longest "sidereal day" day is Venus, with a sidereal rotation period of 243.018 Earth daysIf you use the "solar day" as your definition of "day", the order is reversed. Mercury then has the longest day and Venus has the second longest day.

Venus has the longest sidereal day (period of rotation or spin). This "day" is 243.0185 Earth days long and Venus rotates in the opposite direction of Earth. This day on Venus is actually longer than its "year". It takes more time for the planet to turn one time on its axis than it takes to go around the Sun. A "year" on Venus takes only 224.7 Earth days.However, the longest solar day occurs on Mercury, which completes its slow spin about once every 59 Earth days but also circles the Sun in just 88 Earth days. This tidally-locked combination leads to a solar day (roughly sunrise to sunrise) of 176 Earth days, twice as long as the "year".On Venus, because it rotates clockwise but orbits counter-clockwise, the effect is to make a solar day ("daytime" is brighter, but there's no sunrise through the clouds) about 116.75 Earth days.Minor comment: The actual question may be asking something different, but that's not clear.
Venus, its day is equivalent to 243 Earth Days. That's the rotation period, or "sidereal day". However the "solar day" on Venus is only about 117 Earth days. If you mean the "solar day" then Mercury has the longest day because Mercury has a solar day of about 176 Earth days.
Julian just celebrated his 18th birthday on January 22nd spotlight...July 4 Langston (a.k.a my babe =) his b day is July 6th and last but def. not least is Day-Day who b day is also in July and its thee 5th
Both the sun is above the horizon for less than 12 hours in January in the north and at low sun angles, the received sunlight is spread over a larger surface area.

summer. In the southern hemisphere the summer solstice (longest day) is around 22nd December. In the northern hemisphere it is around the 22nd July.
That depends on the meaning. One meaning is longest daylight hours. This happens at summer solstice. Another meaning is, the time the earth takes to spin on its axis once, with reference to the sun. This happens at perihelion of earth's orbit, where it is more than 24 clock hours.
Mercury has the longest "solar "or apparent day. Mercury takes 88 Earth days to go around the Sun, so its year is 88 Earth days. It spins very slowly on its axis though, once every 58.6 Earth days days relative to background stars. A solar (apparent) day on Mercury takes 176 Earth days, because of this slow spin relative to the time taken to orbit.The spin of Venus relative to the background stars is slower, taking 243 Earth days to spin once on its axis. But since its spin is retrograde (clockwise as viewed from above the north pole) and in the opposite direction of orbit around the sun, the apparent solar day is less, at 116.75 days.So, Mercury has the longest "Solar day". However Venus has the longest "sidereal day", because that's defined as the rotation period.
