<u>Answer</u>: No

<u>Explanation</u>: Day occurs on  the part of the planet that is turned towards the sun. However, most planets, including Earth, rotate around their axis. Thus, a certain point on our planet will experience a day/night cycle depending on its position in relation to the sun.

Because of this, the length of a day is determined by the rotation speed of the planet; the higher the speed the shorter the day. It is still not completely known what determines how fast a planet rotates. However, we have enough information to determinet that the distance between the planet and its sun is <em>not</em> a factor.

This distance determines the length of a year, which is the time it takes for a planet to complete a resolution around its star. Planets further way from their star will have a larger orbit, and thus a longer distance to traverse.

What are Genes that produce alternative expressions of a trait called
Brrunno [24]
The answer should be allele(s).

Alleles are alternative forms of genes. For example in eye color, there is brown eye allele that produces brown eyes or blue eye alleles that produces blue eyes. 

However, note that there may be dominant or recessive alleles. Dominant alleles are always expressed, meanwhile, recessive allele is only expressed when there is no dominant allele existing. 

An example is let say brown eye allele is dominant and blue eye allele is recessive. The eye gene is controlled by 2 alleles. If I had one brown eye allele and 1 blue, my eyes will be brown, because brown eye allele is dominant.
