The term "day" applies to the duration of one rotation of the planet on its own axis. The Earth rotates on its axis once every 24 hours. The rotational motion is attributed to the intrinsic angular momentum of the body, acquired during its formation.
By contrast, a year would be the duration of one orbit of the planet around the Sun.

Why do planets have different day lenghts?
Planets have different day lengths due to variations in their rotation speeds and sizes. Planets closer to the Sun, like Mercury, have shorter day lengths because they rotate faster. Larger planets, such as Jupiter, have longer day lengths due to their slower rotation speeds.
Why do you see planets just after sunset and just before sunset?
The two planets that are between Earth and the sun are Mercury and Venus. Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun. Venus is the second closest planet to the Sun. These two planets can only be seen when the observer on earth is facing towards them. That occurs only during the early morning twilight, the entire day, and the early evening twilight. During the night, and observer is facing away from the two planets. During the day, it is difficult, but not impossible, to see either Mercury or Venus due to the glare of the sun. The remaining planets have an orbit that places them farther out from the sun than earth. They can be seen only when it is night, or early twilight. The three outer planets that are easiest to see with the naked eye at night are Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn.
Why can't we see the planets during the day?
The light of the sun is too bright to make out the planets during the day unless there is an eclipse.

Does mercury have a day and night?
Yep! All planets do, one day happens after each individual planet spins around completely while orbiting the sun! Each day for each planet is different! Some other planets have days that are 243 Earth days to 10 hours! Hope that helps!!
Why can you see planets and stars on a night?
The reason you can see planets and stars at night is that their light is faint and the brightness of the sun obscures them during the day. At night, when the sun is not visible, the fainter light from the planets and stars can more readily be seen.
