- Although no Canon source states how long the days are on Endor, at least in our solar system there is an inverse relationship between the diameter of a planet and its rotational period. Although this relationship isn't exactly 1:1, Large planets like Jupiter and Saturn rotate much more quickly than smaller planets like Earth and Mars (Venus is a weird outlier with an absurdly long rotational period that is even longer than the time it takes Venus to revolve around the Sun1). Wookieepedia lists Endor's diameter as 4,900 km, or about the size of Mercury. We would therefore expect Endor to rotate more slowly than the Earth, and it should therefore have longer days.
Quotes
- Pete: ...analyze, scrutinize, and Ewok tribes...
