Orbiting faster than any planet in our Solar System, Mercury goes around the Sun about every 88 Earth days. it is also the smallest planet, and the closest to the Sun. Mercury has no known satellites.
Venus orbits the Sun about every 224.7 Earth days. It is the second-closest planet to the Sun, and also has no known satellites.

Do the gas planets rotate slower or faster than earth?
they rotate faster
Do Jovian planets rotate faster than Terrestrial planets?
No. The length of a planet's year is determined by its distance from its sun. In our solar system all of the Jovian planets orbit farther from the sun than the terrestrial ones and therefore have longer years.
Do other planets rotate?
Yes, some faster than others. In fact, virtually all spacial bodies rotate.
What is the difference between planets that rotations time are shorter than earth to planets rotation time that are longer than earth?
The outer planets all rotate faster than the inner planets. Each of them has a rotational period shorter than an Earth day. All of the inner planets have rotational periods longer than one Earth day. The outer planets are mostly made up of hydrogen, helim, and ice, and they are much larger than the inner planets which are mostly iron and various types of rock.
What if anything would happen to the shape of the earth if it were to rotate on its axis faster than it does today?

How does the Earth probably compare in orbital speed to the other planets?
The Earth moves faster than the planets that are farther from the Sun.
Why do you think the winds speeds on the gas giants planets are so much greater thean the speed on earth?
The are two reasons:They rotate faster than Earth, producing a stronger Coriolis force.They have no ground to create friction.
What 2 planets have a faster orbital velocity than earth?
Any planets that are nearer to the sun than the earth is. The two known ones are Mercury and Venus.
Which two planets orbit the sun faster than earth?
Mercury and Venus
What two planets orbit the sun faster than earth?
Mercury and Venus
Why does the length of a day and year vary from planet to planet?
Some planets rotate faster or than others. Also the planets take different times to orbit the Sun.
