Final answer:

If Earth took longer to travel around the sun, a year would be longer than 365 days.


Step-by-step explanation:

If Earth took longer to travel around the sun than it does now, a year would be longer than 365 days. Currently, Earth completes one orbit around the sun in approximately 365.25 days, which is why we have leap years every four years. If Earth's orbital period was longer, it would mean that it takes more time for Earth to complete one revolution around the sun, resulting in a longer year.
