Is a day the same on all planets?

No, it varies from planet to planet. A day is the period of time it takes for a planet to make one complete turn on its axis. Venus and Uranus display retrograde motion, which means they rotate in the opposite direction from other planets. There are 24 hours on planet Earth and 10.5 hours on Saturn.
