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.

How do the periods of rotation and revolution for the gas giant planets different from those of Earth?
because of the sun
The movement of planets around the sun?
This is called orbiting. Or a revolution.
How would you define revolution of Planets in the solar system?
the revolution of planets in solar psyeatem is in anticlockwise direction.the revolution in simle words is like moving in one direction at one place.
Which of these planets are considered to have a short revolution?
mercury
When moving from the outer planets to the inner planets what can be said about their periods of revolution?
FCAT Focus answer: C) They decrease
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

The planets revolution from the sun?
Depends on the mass of the planet, its speed and the mass of the sun. Our planets revolve because they have the right speed and mass to revolve steadily.
What is revolution's importance to the planets?
It has something to do with the planets' temperature and climate.
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.
How are the planets held in their orbit?
The planets are held in orbit by the gravity of the Sun, and also because that is what happens when the force of inertia and gravity are combined.
The movement of planets around the sun?
This is called orbiting. Or a revolution.
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.
