The C-H bond in ethane is longer than the C-H bond in ethene.

In the same valence shell of carbon atom, s orbital has greater penetrating effect than p orbital, and thus s orbital has a shorter average distance towards the nucleus. Therefore, when considering the bond length of C-H bond, the less the s character in the hybridized orbital of C, the longer the bond length.

Each C atom in ethane molecule is sp³ hybridized (25.0% s-character), while each C atom is ethane molecule is sp² hybridized (33.3% s character).  Since the sp³ orbital of C atom in ethane has less s character than the sp² orbital of C atom in ethene, the C-H bond in ethane is longer than the C-H bond in ethene.
