IT IS not The same Period of rotation Because tthe mercury have rotation g9 days and the pluto have a rotation 6.4 days so it is not the same BY:JULLIA TUTANES :P
Rotation - 59 days Revolution - 88 days Woot Swagg _
Revolution and rotation mean two different things. The period of Revolution is how long a planet takes to orbit the Sun, and is commonly known as a Year. So the first part of what you are asking is to compare the lengths of a year on Mercury and Neptune. 1 Mercury Year = 88 days = 0.24 Earth Years. 1 Neptune Year = 165 Earth Years. So if we compare them we get 0.24/165 = 688 so the Neptunian Year is about 688 times the length of the Mercury Year. The period of Rotation is how long a planet takes to turn on its axis and is commonly known as a day. 1 Mercury Day* = 58.65 Earth Days. 1 Neptune Day = 19.1 Earth Hours. If we compare the two, we get 58.65 days/19.1 hrs = 73.7. So a Mercury Day is 73.7 times longer than a Neptune Day. Why? Because of their orbits and their speed of rotation. * some sources quote a different length of a day on Mercury
Rotation period (length of day in Earth days) 58.65 earth days Revolution period (length of year in Earth days)87.97 earth days
In the time it takes Mercury to complete one rotation, Neptune rotates 87.37 times.

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
Mercury rotates very slowly at a rate of one rotation every 58.65 days. Mercury revolves around the sun once every 88 days.
it rotates slowly and orbits quickly.
It rotates slow but quicker on its axis
Rotation period (length of day in Earth days) 58.65 earth days Revolution period (length of year in Earth days)87.97 earth days
Mercury completes one revolution in about 88 Earth days. This is due to its slow rotation. Mercury is a terrestrial planet that is the nearest to the sun. A day on Mercury is about 58.5 Earth days.
