The planet Uranus spins on its axis just a little slower than once every 17 hours. Because the axis of the planet is sideways in relation to its orbit, (Uranus spins on its side), daylight lasts for about earth 70 days, and darkness last for about earth 70 days.

Length of a Uranus day and year?

The rotation period of Uranus is about 17.24 Earth hours. Its year (orbital period around the Sun) is about 84.3 Earth years, due to its great distance from the Sun. The "solar day" is mostly irrelevant since there is no solid surface to receive sunlight. However, Uranus is spinning "on its side" and points each pole toward the Sun during its orbit. This means that the period of sunlight varies immensely for locations near the poles, cycling from a few seconds every 17 hours to more than 42 Earth years long. This is an extreme version of the six months of day and night experienced at Earth's poles.
