If you define a "year" for a planet as the length of time for it to make one revolution around the sun (the sidereal period) the "years" for the two planets are:

Mercury 0.241 earth year (88.0 days)

Venus 0.615 earth year (225 days)

... so Venus has a longer "year" than Mercury.

What planet have years longer than its days?

Earth, unless you meant days longer than years. In which case, that would be Venus.


What planet takes 224 day to orbit the sun?

Venus takes approximately 224.7 Earth days to complete one orbit around the Sun. This is slightly longer than its rotation period, which is why a day on Venus is longer than a year on Venus.


What planet's year is shorter than its day?

Venus has a day that is longer than its year. Venus takes about 243 Earth days to complete one rotation on its axis (day), but it only takes about 225 Earth days to orbit the sun (year).


What planets days are longer than your year?

Venus "sidereal day" is longer than its year. Mercury's "solar day" is longer than its year. However, there is no planet in our solar system with a day longer than our year on Earth.


How long are venus's days and years?

One interesting fact about Venus is that a day on Venus is actually longer than a year on Venus. A Venusian day lasts 243 days, and a year is 224 days. That means that the day on Venus is 19 days longer than the year.


What is Venus's rotation?

It takes it 243 Earth days for 1 rotation! That is longer than its year!


Which planets take longer then earth to complete one rotation?

Venus takes longer than Earth to complete one rotation on its axis. A day on Venus is longer than a year on Venus, as it rotates very slowly clockwise. Mercury also takes longer than Earth to complete one rotation due to its slow spin.


What does a day on venus lasts 243 earth days mean?

It means that it takes Venus approximately 243 Earth days to complete one full rotation on its axis. This is longer than a Venusian year, which is about 225 Earth days. As a result, a day on Venus is longer than a year on Venus.


Does Venus's have day and night?

Venus does not spin on it's axis as fast as the earth does. It takes Venus 243 days to do one complete revolution. A day on Venus is longer than it's year.


Which is longer on venus a sidereal day or year explain?

On Venus, a sidereal day (the time it takes for Venus to complete one rotation on its axis) is longer than a year (the time it takes to orbit the Sun). A sidereal day on Venus lasts about 243 Earth days, while a Venusian year is approximately 225 Earth days. This is due to Venus's slow rotation and its unique retrograde rotation, where it spins in the opposite direction to its orbit around the Sun. Consequently, a day on Venus exceeds its year in duration.


What planet's year is longer than 365 days?

Every planet's year is longer than 365 days except for Mercury and Venus. Earth's year is aproximately 365.25 days, people just combined them for an extra day every 4 years.


What planets years are longer than its days?

Venus and Mercury have longer years than days. Venus takes about 225 Earth days to complete one orbit around the Sun, while a day on Venus (one rotation on its axis) takes about 243 Earth days. Mercury takes about 88 Earth days to complete one orbit but has a much slower rotation period, which means a year on Mercury is longer than a day.
