Yes, all the planets which have their axis of rotation at right angles(or close to 90`) to the orbital plane will experience night and day in the same way as earth. Uranus is the exception, because its axis is almost parallel with its plane of orbit, and the axis is always pointing in the same direction. In other words, it's kind of "laying on its side", and each pole gets half a year of sunlight. So, its "day" and "night" is not the result of its rotation , but of its orbit around the sun.
The length of our periods of light and darkness is governed by our orbit round the sun, the earth's rotation on its axis, and the tilting that causes our seasons. Therefore, any other planet in our solar system (or any other similar system) would be subject to the same influence - and have differing periods of light and dark.
Yes, if a planet has a rotational spin it will have a day and a night side. This is caused by one side of the planet facing away from the sun. All the planets in our solar system spin, and have a day and a night side. However, the moon does not rotate, one side is facing the earth and the other side is facing away. It is theoretically possible for a planet to not rotate, and thus would not have a day or night rotation.
No, on Earth Day and night do not happen simultaneously. The rotation of the Earth causes different parts of the planet to receive sunlight at different times, creating day and night cycles.

Why is there day time and night time on mars?
Day and night on Mars are caused by its rotation on its axis, which takes approximately 24.6 hours. As Mars rotates, different parts of the planet are exposed to the Sun, resulting in day and night cycles similar to those on Earth. The length of day and night on Mars is also influenced by its elliptical orbit around the Sun.
If a planet orbits the sun but does not rotate on its axis at all how long would a day be on that planet?
A day on the planet would be equal to the time it takes for the planet to complete one full orbit around the sun, which would be the same as its year. So, the day would be the same length as the planet's year.
How do day and night affect our planet?
During the day, sunlight provides both light and heat. At night, it is dark and it cools off.
Which planet has the longest cycle of day and night?
Mercury has the longest day-night cycle among the planets in our solar system. A day on Mercury is about 176 Earth days long, followed by an equally long night.
How is a day and night produced on the earth?
Day and night on Earth are caused by the rotation of the planet on its axis. As Earth spins, different parts of the planet receive sunlight or darkness, creating the cycle of day and night. This rotation takes approximately 24 hours to complete.
What is the temperature of day and night for planet mercury?
350 degrees in the day time 170 degrees in the night time
What cause on day and night?
the same thing that causes day and night on every other planet - it rotates.
Why do earth have different time?
Because the planet moves around the sun, therefore the sun can not light the entire planet at the same time, and so the different parts of the planet have different times of day and night.
What planet has a star day and night?
no,planet has a star day and night
Is it day all over the world at the same time and night all over the world at the same time?
No, since our planet is spherical (ball-shaped) and we have only one sun, only half of the planet can be illuminated by the sun at any one time.
How does rotation causes day and night?
The sun shines on the Earth while it rotates, but it can't shine on the whole entire planet at the same time, so one side is day the other side is night
Why the planes get the sounds in the day time when compared with night time?
Planes make the same sounds whether in the day time or night time.
Why is there day time and night time on mars?
Day and night on Mars are caused by its rotation on its axis, which takes approximately 24.6 hours. As Mars rotates, different parts of the planet are exposed to the Sun, resulting in day and night cycles similar to those on Earth. The length of day and night on Mars is also influenced by its elliptical orbit around the Sun.
Which planet has a day almost the same length of time as earth?
mars
What country has day and night both?
Every country on Earth experiences day and night due to the rotation of the planet on its axis. The length of day and night varies depending on the time of year and the location on Earth.
How does a planet create day and night?
A planet creates day and night as it rotates on its axis. One side of the planet faces the sun, experiencing daylight, while the other side faces away from the sun, experiencing darkness, creating the cycle of day and night.
What causes a planet to have a year?
The suns mass makes it rotate itself, and anything in its gravitational pull spins around the sun and spinning at the same time. That is how we have Day, Night and Year.
