Calculate Planet Day Length

Formula

To calculate the planet day length:

\[ D = \frac{1}{R} \]

Where:

Planet Day Length

Planet day length refers to the duration of one complete rotation of a planet on its axis, which determines the length of a single day on that planet. This period can vary significantly from one planet to another within our solar system and beyond. For instance, a day on Earth is approximately 24 hours, while a day on Jupiter is roughly 10 hours. The planet day length is influenced by the planet’s rotation speed, which is the rate at which it spins around its axis.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ D = \frac{1}{0.1} = 10 \text{ days} \]

The planet day length is 10 days.
