First understand that night is caused when a point on a planet rotates with the planet so that it is not pointing towards the sun (it rotates into the shadow of its planet).
On Earth as the planet rotates once on its axis every 24 hours, a point on its surface will be in shadow for 12 hours at a time.
Venus on the other hand rotates on its axis only once every 243 Earth days (and rotates in the opposite direction to Earth and all the rest of the planets). However it only takes Venus 224.65 Earth days to orbit the Sun (its rotation period is longer than its year!).
Because of Venus's slow backwards rotation combined with the orbital period, the length of a Venusian day is significantly shorter than its rotational period. To an observer on the surface of Venus the time from one sunrise to the next would be 116.75 Earth days, so its night is 58.375 earth days long. Additionally, the Sun would appear to set in the east and rise in the west.
What else can I help you with?
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 has its years longer than its day?
Venus has a year that is longer than its day. A day on Venus is equivalent to 243 Earth days, while a year (orbital period around the Sun) on Venus is about 225 Earth days.
Why is daylight on Venus longer then daylight on Earth?
Because it takes a longer time to rotate than earth does
Why is daylight longer on Venus than daylight on earth?
Daylight on Venus lasts longer than on Earth due to its extremely slow rotation period of about 243 Earth days. This causes the sun to be visible in the sky for prolonged periods of time on Venus compared to Earth.
How many earth days will make a venus day?
There are 243 Earth days for a Venus day - but a Venus year is just under 225 Earth days. Therefore - a day on Venus is longer than a year !
What planet have years longer than its days?
Earth, unless you meant days longer than years. In which case, that would be Venus.
Which would be longer on your planet your planet your days or nights to earth?
Days are longer than nights in the summer, and the reverse in the winter.
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.
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.
Why are Jupiters nights longer than on earth?
they are longer than on earth because they are smarter than u and they dont go to computers for answers.
What planet has its years longer than its day?
Venus has a year that is longer than its day. A day on Venus is equivalent to 243 Earth days, while a year (orbital period around the Sun) on Venus is about 225 Earth days.

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.
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.
Which planet venus or Pluto would have a longer year than the earth?
Pluto.
