The Sun completes an equatorial rotation about once every 25 days. However, the poles spin more slowly, taking more than 34 days to rotate.
The disk of the Galaxy is a flattened, rotating system which contains the Sun and other intermediate-to-young stars. The sun sits about 2/3 of the way from the center to the edge of the disk (about 25,000l.y. by the most modern estimates). The sun revolves around the center of the galaxy roughly once every 250 million years.
False, the speed it spins on it's axis determinds the length of day. The speed it rotates the sun determinds the length of it's year.
Day and night are of equal length at the equator, which is an imaginary line that circles the Earth halfway between the North and South Poles. This phenomenon occurs during the equinoxes, which happen around March 20-21 and September 22-23 each year.
Jupiter is the fastest rotating planet. It is 9.9 hours in a day and 12 earth years on Jupiter.
No, the length of day and night varies throughout the year due to the tilt of the Earth's axis as it orbits the sun. This results in the changing seasons and varying lengths of daylight and darkness.
It's the average length of the "apparent solar day" throughout the year, 24 hours exactly for planet Earth.
I think that the sun doesn't have any length of day, because of the heat and how the planets revolve around the sun.
the length of a day on Jupiter is unknown and so is the amount of days in a year
its the length of your mom and shes pretty fat
Venus. The "day" (rotation period or sidereal day) is longer than the year! Venus Sidereal day: 243 Earth days. Venus Year: 224.7 Earth days.
The average length of the day is usually just called "day".
False, the speed it spins on it's axis determinds the length of day. The speed it rotates the sun determinds the length of it's year.
If the shadows are longer, that means the Sun is lower in the sky.
The equinoxes are the two dates each year when the day and the night are of equal length.

They aren't. A day is 24 hours long and a year is 365 days long, which is 8760 hours in a year.
To keep the year the right length and the calendar correct
