does the sun have a year or a day if so how long are they?

It doesnt have years or days like we do.  For us a day is one rotation of the earth buit the sun doesnt spin.  For us a year is one revolution around the sun, but the sun cant revolve around itself

5 billion years or so.\n\nhttp://www.enchantedlearning.com/subjects/astronomy/sun/sundeath.shtml

um depends how fast you're going. If you're going the speed of light it would only take 8 minutes. \nIf you were flying in the spaceshuttle, which goes Mach 25 or about 17,500MPH it would still take 221 days to get to the sun. So not even a year.

Earth orbits in a counterclock wise direction around the sun.\nIt takes approximately 365.25 days do orbit around the sun.\nThe gravitational forces between the sun and earth and the resulting centripetal and centrufugal forces makes the earth go around.

1 year = 365.242199 days

6 Billion years old. The Bible says that to God a day is a thousand years and a thousand years is a day, which basically means that God does not follow our time table, so the 7 days that it took God to create the Heavens and the Earth could have been millions of years.

light years are billions of miles long, the moon is only ~250,000 miles from the earth\n\ntry taking how many miles light travels in 1 second 186,000 miles, multiply that by 31,557,600 and you get your answer\n\nhint, there are 365.25 days in a year, that is how we get a leap year every 4 years.\n\ncheers - corey

Actually there are two types of years - the tropical year and the sidereal year.  \n\nThe tropical year is what we consider to be a year - measured by the passage of the seasons originally, now it can be very accurately measured as the time between two consecutive spring equinoxes, which is when the Sun crosses the celestial equator going north.  \n\nThe sidereal year is the time it takes the Sun to return to the same spot in the sky relative to the background stars.  This is slightly different than a tropical year because of the precession of Earth's rotational axis, and has nothing to do with the Sun's motion around the galaxy.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tropical_year\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sidereal_year

It doesn't.  It actually takes 365.2422 days, which is why every 100 years the leap year doesn't have an extra day.  Except for years than are evenly divisible by 400, they do.  (To make up for the 0.0022 extra.)  This most recently happened in 2000 and won't happen again until 2400.

No.\nThe Sun may be visible for more than one day over the geographic North Pole during the Summer, but the day is still only about 24 hours long.

It's not the length of the second; it's the number of days it takes the earth to go around the sun.  It takes about 365.26 days.  If the second were lengthened, and clocks stayed as they are, eventually it would be dark at noon.

No, the Earth moves around the sun at a rate of once per year.\n\nReligion cannot beat fact.

It is because the year is not 365 days long, it is closer to 365 1/4 days long. That is why we need a leap year every 4 years. That means that after 365 days the Earth is 1/4 day short of completing one complete orbit. There are 360 degrees in a complete orbit which takes 365 1/4 days to complete, so the Earth moves just a little less than 1 degree per day around its orbit. This has a small effect on the exact time of sunset and sunrise. \n\nA regular day, called a mean solar day, is the time from one sunset to the next and is exactly 24 hours long. But a sidereal day, which is the time from one star set until then next star set (for the same star), is 23h 56m 4s long. The 3 minute 56 second difference is the extra time required for the Earth to rotate that extra degree to again bring the Sun exactly to the horizon as seen from a position one degree farther along its orbit. Now if sunset is at some time on some day this year, 365 days later the Earth is 1/4 of a degree short of where it was in its orbit the previous year and sunset is 1/4 of 3m 56s, or 59 seconds, early. The second year of 365 days and it is off by twice 59 seconds (1m 58s) and after the 3rd year it is off by three times 59 seconds (2m 57s). After 4 years it is a full degree, and a full day, short of an orbit so sunset should be the full 3m 56s early, but we add a day to the year every 4 years which cancels out the error. So the sunset time should be 1/4 of 3m 56s earlier each year for 3 years and then back on schedule the 4th year. Approximately. There are other factors too, but I think that should be the major one.

The earth moves around the sun at a mean distance of 93,000,000 miles.\nAnother point of interest, the earth is more than 4500 million years old.

Our motion around the sun is only one revolution per year, so that doesn't show much change on a daily basis. The rotation of the sun brings new details into view. The speed of rotation varies with position on the sun - things at the sun's equator go around once every 25 days, but it's only spinning once every 36 days at its poles. \n\nSome features on the sun, solar flares for example, come and go in a few hours or less, but sunspots tend to persist for many days, long enough  so you can watch them as the sun's rotation caries them around.

According to answers.com, the sun will last another 6 billion years, so you don't need to worry about it. It also says that it will turn into a white dwarf. Yet, the other source says that it will last around 5 billion years until it turns into a white dwarf. Then, it will cool down, taking billions of years, then turn into a black dwarf.\nhttp://www.enchantedlearning.com/subjects/astronomy/stars/lifecycle/\nhas a diagram to show the cycles of stars like the sun.

Normally you'd describe shorter distances like that in AU (astronimical units - 1 AU=distance from earth to sun).\nBut - The distance is almost exactly 499 lightseconds - ie \nearth2sun in lightseconds/(days per year*seconds per day).\n499/(365.25*86400)=0.000016 lightyears.
