a day on what planet is longer than the planets year?

Answer 1

Venus

Answer 2

There are many planets within our solar system with "days" that are longer than their years..take Mercury as an example...it takes Mercury a mere 88 days to orbit the Sun (its "year")...but requires more than two of our "years" to complete on revolution. And mercurys rotation upon its' axis is actually "retrograde", meaning that in relation to its' orbit around the Sun, it's actually spinning in "reverse" when as compared with other planets. One year (of our Earth years that is), the sunny side of Mercury is well above 400 degrees; while the dark side of the airless planet, is close to MINUS 400 degrees. There is an 800 degree difference between the sunny side and the dark sides of Venus. But regarding your question..."YES", Mercurys "Day" is much longer than it's 88-day "year". I could give you the EXACT specs concerning anumber ofother planets in our solar system, but the books containing the information is buried somewhere here in my personal library. Your question is thought-thru very well and deserves an intelleligent answer...and I apologize for not haveing the materials here before me in order to give you more precise information. Nevertheless, you presented an excellent question indeed...and wish more people like yourself would take the time and think of more great questions as the one you presented. I hope my answer was helpful. Good luck as you continue in your studies of our galaxy and surrounding Uniververse. It is indeed a fancinating study and hobby for minds that are "IN THE KNOW".

Answer 3

Venus, the second planet of Earth's solar system. A single day, the amount of time it takes the planet to complete a full rotation on its axis, takes nearly two orbits around the sun -- 1.92, to be precise.

Answer 4

Mercury

I knew it but now i don't remember!
