For the 8 major planets, the length of the year (period of revolution) in Earth time:
Mercury = 88 days (0.25 Earth years) - 2.9 months
Venus = 224.7 days (0.67 Earth years) - 7.4 months
Earth = 365.25 days (1 Earth year) - 12 months
Mars = 687 days (1.88 Earth years) - 1 year, 2.5 months
Jupiter = 4332.6 days (11.86 Earth years) - 11 years, 10.3 months
Saturn = 10759 days (29.46 Earth years) - 29 years 5.5 months
Uranus = 30799 days (84.3 Earth years) - 84 years, 3.6 months
Neptune = 60190 days (164.8 Earth years) - 164 years, 9.6 months

Is the period of revolution dependent on the size of the planet?
No. The period of revolution depends on the size of the orbit of the planet.
Which planet has retrograde revolution?
venus
Which planet has the smallest revolution?
mercury
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.
Is it true that each planet makes one revolution each year?
depends on what you mean. The planets revolve by themselves and around the sun so if you mean just a rotation of a planet then no. If you mean around the sun it depends on how your thinking about it. If you're talking about 365 earth days, then no. Each planet moves at a different speed around the sun and the farther from the sun, the slower the rotation.
What is the direction of each planet's revolution around the sun called?
anti clockwise
How many days in a revolution?
There are 365.25 days in the Earth's revolution around the Sun. Hence, leap years. Each planet has its own period of revolution.
How is the temperature and period of revolution of each planet related to its distance from the sun?
because the sun go to the earth
Is the period of revolution dependent on the size of the planet?
No. The period of revolution depends on the size of the orbit of the planet.
What is meant by rotation and revolution of a planet?
The rotation of a planet refers to the planet spinning like a top; a "revolution" is the time required for the planet's orbit around the Sun.
Which planet has the shortest period of revolution as measured relative to earths time?
The planet that has the shortest period of revolution is Mercury, which is 88 days. The planet with the longest revolution is Neptune, which is 165 years. Earth's revolution is the third shortest.
Does the length of the revolution vary from planet to planet?
Yes.
How does planet distance from the sun affect the period of revolution?
How does a planet's distance from the sun affect its period of revolution?

What is a planet's revolution?
A planet's revolution is its orbit around the sun. A planet's rotation is its movement about its axis. For example, the Earth's revolution around the sun takes 365.26 days, and its period of rotation is 24 hours.
Why do planets differ in their length of revolution around the sun?
because each planet are different lengths away from the sun so if would then take longer periods of revolution around the sun
What is planet mercury's revolution?
Mercury is the first planet closest to the sun which makes it the hottest. its period of revolution is 88 days
