What is a planet with long days and a short year?

Mercury has the shortest year of any of the planets. It is only 88 days. Mercury's day takes 58.646 Earth days.


Which planets year is 248 days long?

No planet in our Solar System has 248 days in a year.The closest are:-Venus 224 days - although Venus has a day which lasts 243 days.Earth 365 days


Which planet year is only 88 earth days?

Mercury. Mercury takes 88 days to go around the sun, so its year is 88 solar days.


What planet if you stayed on for one day would be longer then the planets years?

Venus. The day is 243 earth days long and the year is only 225. Mercury is another weird case. Its year is about 88 earth days long. Its sidereal day is 2/3 of that, 58 2/3 earth days. So in effect it would seem that the daytime lasts a year and the nighttime lasts a year.


How long id Mercury's year?

Mercury's year is only 87.9 Earth days long.


Which planets day is half as long as its year?

Venus or Mercury, depending on the definition of "day" used. It takes Venus 243 Earth days to spin on its axis relative to the background stars (a "sidereal day"). It takes Venus 224.7 Earth days to orbit the Sun (its year). However, a "solar day" is only 116.75 Earth days long due to the combination of rotation time, orbit time and spin direction. (Venus spins in the other direction to Earth and most other planets.)Mercury has a "sidereal day" of about 58.6 Earth days and a year of about 88 Earth days.


What planet has the shortest yea of the inner planets?

Mercury has the shortest year of all the inner planets, lasting only about 88 Earth days. This is due to its close proximity to the Sun, which results in faster orbits around it compared to other planets.


Why and is there leap year?

Each year is only 364.25 days long, so we have 3 years with 364 days, and one year (the leap year) with 365 days. It evens out the days.


Are years on other planets the same length?

No. Every planet has different length years. The farther a planet is from the sun, the longer year it has. Mercury's year is only 88 of our days. Earth's year is exactly 1 year long. Jupiter's year is about 12 of our years, and Pluto's year is 248 of them.


How long is a year on other planets?

A year on other planets varies depending on the planet's orbit around the sun. For example, a year on Mercury is about 88 Earth days, while a year on Mars is about 687 Earth days. The farther a planet is from the sun, the longer its year typically is.


Do all planets have a day that is 24 hours long and a year that is 365 days?

No, only earth. The planets year, or time it takes to make one orbit of the sun varies, depending on its distance from the sun. Mercury is the closest and will take around 88 days to go once around the sun, while Neptune (the furthest) will take around 165 years. Each of the planets spins are different. The time taken for one rotation is the length of a day - this is not really effected by how far it is from the sun, just how much speed it has from the formation of the universe. Some planets spin very slowly (even the other way in the case of Venus and Uranus). Some Planets spin very quickly.
