Our moon takes 27.32 days to revolve once around the Earth,
27.32 days to rotate once on its axis, and 29.53 days to display
a full cycle of 'phases'. The "Full Moon" is one so-called phase,
that technically occupies only a single moment in time, although
the moon looks practially full for a day or two before and after.

What is Saturn27s revolution or rotation time?
Rotation- 10 hours and 39 minutes Revolution- 29.5 Earth years
Revolution time of Neptune?
Rotation:17.24 hours Revolution:165 years
What is the difference between a planet's period of rotation and period of revolution?
All planets in our solar system vary in the time it takes them to complete a revolution. This is due to their differing distances from the sun. As far as rotation goes, the time varies from nine hours and fifty minutes for Jupiter to 244 days for Venus to make a like rotation.
Does the planet with the shortest revolution have the shortest rotation?
No, the planet with the shortest revolution does not necessarily have the shortest rotation. Revolution refers to the time it takes for a planet to complete one orbit around the sun, while rotation refers to the time it takes for a planet to complete one full spin on its axis. These two periods can be different for each planet.
Time for 1 revolution of mercury?
Rotation on its axis takes about 58.6 Earth days and revolution around the Sun takes about 88 Earth days.
When periods of the moons rotation and revolution are equal what is it called?
It is called synchronous rotation when the rotation and orbit take the same amount of time.
How do you use the moons movement and phases to tell time?
you use the moons movement and phases to tell time because of the seasons, rotation, and revolution
What planet has both a day rotation and year revolution in almost the same amount time?
Venus
What units of time are based on a single rotation or revolution of the earth?

What is the difference between rotation and revolution with regard to the solar system?
Revolution is the time a planet takes to revolve around itself. Rotation is the time a planet takes to orbit the Sun.
How were time zones designed?
because of the earths rotation and revolution.
