How does a planets distance from the sun affect the length of a year on that planet?

Answer:
All planets rotate around the sun. For every rotation around the sun one year has passed. If a planet is further away from the sun then it has more distance to cover and therefore it will take longer to rotate around the sun, meaning that a year on that planet will be longer.
