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.


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.


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.


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.


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.


How many days are a year on the dwarf planets?

There is no constant year length for planets, dwarf type or otherwise. A planet's period (year length) depends entirely upon how long it take to orbit its star. Depending on the planet and its situation, that might take a matter of a few days, or a few years, or even centuries.
