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.

What is the relationship between a planet's rotation and a planet's revolution?

There is no real relationship, a planets spin depends on collisions it may have had in the past, rather than on its distance from the sun (which governs its orbital rotation time around the sun).


How do the periods of rotation and revolution for the gas giant planets different from those of Earth?

because of the sun


What is the relationship between a planets movement and a planets rotation and revolution?

Each year, the planet moves one full rotation around the sun, a movement. Each day, the planet revolves once, that's why in the day there is light because you are facing the sun, but when the earth revolves some more it is facing away from the sun eliminating the sun's light.


Does Venus have a retrograde revolution?

Prograde. In our solar system, prograde is counterclockwise rotation or revolution. Retrograde is clockwise rotation or revolution.Clockwise and counterclockwise are "as viewed from above the Earth's north pole".All solar system planets have a prograde rotation except Venus and Uranus which have retrograde rotation.All the planets have prograde orbital motion (revolution) around the Sun.So, Mercury has prograde motion in both cases.


What are the 2 movement of the planets?

The two primary movements of the planets are rotation and revolution. Rotation refers to the spinning of a planet on its axis, which causes day and night, while revolution is the orbiting of a planet around the Sun, defining its year. Both movements are fundamental to understanding the dynamics of our solar system and the changing positions of celestial bodies.

What are the two movement of the planets?

orbit and rotation there is also a wobble or tilt that can fluctuate


What is the difference between orbits and rotation?

well when something is orbiting a planet that means an object is basically circling the planet due to its gravitational pull. Rotation is the planets rotation not the object surrounding circling it.


How does a planets period of rotation differ from its period of revolution?

How is revolution and rotation of planets the same?

revolution-is the revolving of an object around another object. rotation-is the spinning of an object on its axis. revolution and rotation are two different concepts but, are alike in some way. Rotation- Dominic


What is the period of a planets revolution can be used to calculate the planet?

The period of a planet's revolution is the time that it takes to complete one revolution around its axis of rotation relative to the background stars (also known as rotation period).
