Solar days are the times of days that are tracked on the calendar. The days are longest in December and June at the solstices, not in January or July.

The solar day is actually the same length in July and January. A solar day is defined as the time it takes for a specific point on the Earth to rotate back to the same position relative to the Sun, and this does not change based on the month.

What planet has the second shortest day?
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.
Which is longer the stellar day the sidereal day or the solar day?
Usually the solar day is the longest. The other two are very similar in length to each other. For example, the solar day on Earth is about 4 minutes longer than the other two "days". However, for the planet Venus the solar day is the shortest. That's because Venus has retrograde rotation.
What planet has the longest day sunrise to sunrise?
The answer is NOT Venus. It is MERCURY. Venus takes longer to spin once than does Mercury. However Venus spins in the opposite direction to Mercury. The result is that Mercury has the longest "sunrise to sunrise" times.
How long is an uranium day?
An uranium day is approximately 243 Earth days long. Due to its slow rotation, Uranus has one of the longest day lengths among the planets in our solar system.
What planet would you sleep the longest?
The length of a day on a planet would determine how long you sleep. Venus has the longest day in our solar system, lasting about 243 Earth days. So, if you were to live on Venus, you would have a much longer day to sleep through than on other planets.

What is the day with the longest light hours in the year?
The day with the longest daylight hours in the year is the summer solstice, which typically occurs around June 21st in the Northern Hemisphere and around December 21st in the Southern Hemisphere. On this day, the sun reaches its highest position in the sky, resulting in the longest period of daylight.

Why is the amount of solar heating less at northern latitudes on a clear day in january than on a clear day in july?
Both the sun is above the horizon for less than 12 hours in January in the north and at low sun angles, the received sunlight is spread over a larger surface area.

Which planet has the longest day sunrise to sunrise?
Venus has the longest sidereal day (period of rotation or spin). This "day" is 243.0185 Earth days long and Venus rotates in the opposite direction of Earth. This day on Venus is actually longer than its "year". It takes more time for the planet to turn one time on its axis than it takes to go around the Sun. A "year" on Venus takes only 224.7 Earth days.However, the longest solar day occurs on Mercury, which completes its slow spin about once every 59 Earth days but also circles the Sun in just 88 Earth days. This tidally-locked combination leads to a solar day (roughly sunrise to sunrise) of 176 Earth days, twice as long as the "year".On Venus, because it rotates clockwise but orbits counter-clockwise, the effect is to make a solar day ("daytime" is brighter, but there's no sunrise through the clouds) about 116.75 Earth days.Minor comment: The actual question may be asking something different, but that's not clear.
