In astronomical terms, revolution refers to a revolving around an axis outside the object, in this case the solar orbit of a planet - the completion of one period of which is called the planet's year. (Mostly because of axial tilt this also brings about the seasons.) By contrast, the rotation about an axis going through the object (spin) brings about the planet's day.
What else can I help you with?
Which planets have a short revolution period inner or outer?
Planets closer to the Sun, like Mercury and Venus, have shorter revolution periods because they have shorter distances to travel around the Sun. Outer planets, such as Neptune and Pluto, have longer revolution periods due to their larger orbits.
How do the periods of rotation and revolution for the gas giant planets different from those of Earth?
because of the sun
When moving from the outer planets to the inner planets what can be said about their periods of revolution?
As planets move from outer to inner planets, their periods of revolution decrease. This is because the inner planets are closer to the Sun, so they have shorter orbital paths and complete their revolutions more quickly. Outer planets, being farther from the Sun, take longer to complete their journeys around it.
Which of these planets are considered to have a short revolution?
mercury
Why do planets have a revolution times?
planets have revoloution times because back before clocks, they used the sun and some odd looking statues placed correctly to tell the times, so therefore by giving a planet a revolution time they could tell what time of day or year it was by looking at the position of the sun.
What is aphehilion?
The apehelion is the point in a planet's revolution around the sun where said planet is at its furthest distance from the sun. This happens because the route of planets around the sun is an elipse, rather than a circle.

How do the periods of rotation and revolution for the gas giant Planets different From those earth?
because of the sun
How do the periods of rotation and revolution for the gas giant planets different from those of Earth?

What is revolution's importance to the planets?
It has something to do with the planets' temperature and climate.
When moving from the outer planets to the inner planets what can be said about their periods of revolution?
As planets move from outer to inner planets, their periods of revolution decrease. This is because the inner planets are closer to the Sun, so they have shorter orbital paths and complete their revolutions more quickly. Outer planets, being farther from the Sun, take longer to complete their journeys around it.
How is the revolution of the moon different from the revolution of planets?
The planets revolve around the sun. The moon revolves around Earth.
What two factors affect a planets revolution?
Two factors that affect a planets revolution are distance from the sun and size.
Why do planets have different periods of revolution?
The planets are not all the same distance from the Sun, which determines how far they have to travel, and how fast they are moving. Planets farther from the Sun have much longer orbits and are not moving as quickly. So their period of revolution (year) is longer.
What force is responsible for revolution of planets around the sun?
Due to difference of masses among the Sun and planets of the solar system, the celestial body with greater mass atracts the other with less mass. This is called gravitational force. All the planets orbit around the Sun, because it has the biggest mass. Why the planets don't go towards the Sun ? Because the nearest star to the Sun also attracts the Sun making all the solar system to make an elyptical revolution towards the Vega star. And this happens to all celestial bodies in the Universe.

What happens because of earths revolution?
There is change of seasons when earth revolves about the sun.
Which of these planets are considered to have a short revolution?
mercury
