The areas closest to the poles, such as the Arctic and Antarctic regions, experience the longest days. During the summer solstice, these regions can have periods of continuous daylight due to the tilt of the Earth's axis.
Mercury has the longest year in revolution among the inner planets, taking about 88 Earth days to complete one orbit around the Sun.
No, the length of a day remains the same during a solstice. The solstice marks the longest or shortest day of the year based on the tilt of the Earth's axis, but the actual length of a day (24 hours) does not change.
The sidereal day is the time it takes for a planet to rotate once. For Venus that's about 243 of our Earth days.
Mercury has the 2nd longest "sidereal day" with a sidereal rotation period of 58.646 Earth days. The longest "sidereal day" day is Venus, with a sidereal rotation period of 243.018 Earth daysIf you use the "solar day" as your definition of "day", the order is reversed. Mercury then has the longest day and Venus has the second longest day.

No planet in our solar system has days longer than one Earth year. Venus has the longest day -- it's 243 Earth days.

Yes, but the shortest day in the Northern Hemisphere is also the longest in the Southern Hemisphere, and vice versa.
Venus. The length of "day" is 243 Earth days. That's the rotation period which is called a "sidereal day". However, there's also a "day" called the "solar day". That's the time for the Sun to complete one apparent journey around the sky. For that definition of "day", it is Mercury that has the longest day at about 176 Earth days.
Venus. Its day is -243.0185 Earth days long. The "minus" means it rotates in the direction opposite to the Earth and all the other planets (except Uranus). Another viewpoint: That's the time to spin once, called the "sidereal day". The "solar day" is defined in a different way and is only about 116.75 Earth days long for Venus. On that definition, it is Mercury that has the longest day (about 176 Earth days.)
Mars takes the longest of the inner planets.
because the sun is closer earthAnswer:There is very little relation between the hottest day and the longest day. For the northern hemisphere the longest days are in summer when the axial tilt of the Earth lets the sun's rays fall more directly on the surface. However the warmest days can occur any time during the entire span of the summer (about 90 days). Note that for the Northern hemisphere the summer occurs when the Earth is furthest from the sun.The location on the Earth is also significant consideration. The day time high temperatures generally increase as one approaches the equator. The days near the equator are generally very close to 12 hours due to the geometry of the Earth's orbit and the tilt of the Earth. This would make the longest days at the equator shorter by several hours than the longest days anywhere else on the planet. In this case the longer days in the higher latitudes would be significantly cooler than the shorter (equatorial) days.
Neptune has the longest year( Pluto would be but it isn't a planet) Mercury has the shortest year(1 year=88 earth days)
None. Venus has the longest rotation period of 243 days, less than a year.
There are no planets in our solar system with a rotational period of 318 days. The longest is Venus, with a rotational period of 243 days.
Pluto has the longest year, if it was still a planet that is, equal to 248.76 Earth years. Since Pluto is no longer considered a planet, the planet with the longest year is Neptune, at 164.8 Earth years per revolution around the Sun.
