A day is a unit of time. In common usage, it is an interval equal to 24 hours. It also can mean the consecutive period of time during which the Sun is above the horizon, also known as daytime. The period of time during which the Earth completes one rotation with respect to the Sun is called a solar day.his phenomenon is due to tides raised by the Moon which slow Earth's rotation. Because of the way the second is defined, the mean length of a day is now about 86 400.002 seconds, and is increasing by about 1.7 milliseconds per century (an average over the last 2 700 years).
It is always harder to determine the length of a day of a gas giant than it is to determine the length of a day of a terrestrial planet. Saturnâs day was measured at 10 hours 39 minutes and 24 seconds in the â80s. Then it was measured at approximately 10 hours 45 minutes and 45 seconds. day on Venus is 243 Earth days. Venusâ day is actually longer than its year. It only takes 224.7 Earth days for the planet to orbit the Sun. We measure a day on Earth as a period of 24 hours, but it actually takes the planet 23 hours 56 minutes and 4 seconds to rotate on its axis.
