Does the planet with the shortest revolution have the shortest rotation?
No, the planet with the shortest revolution does not necessarily have the shortest rotation. Revolution refers to the time it takes for a planet to complete one orbit around the sun, while rotation refers to the time it takes for a planet to complete one full spin on its axis. These two periods can be different for each planet.
Planets do not collide into one another because?
Every planet has different size and is placed at different distance from the sun. The gravitational pull between the sun and the planet depends upon the distance and size of the planet and hence affects the speed of rotation and revolution of the planet around its own axes as well as around the sun. This specific distance and speed of revolution and rotation locks the planet in its orbit having specific radius which is unique for every planet. This is the reason they have separate path and speed to rotate around its own axes as well as around the sun. , hence they do not collide with each other.
Is it true that each planet makes one revolution each year?
depends on what you mean. The planets revolve by themselves and around the sun so if you mean just a rotation of a planet then no. If you mean around the sun it depends on how your thinking about it. If you're talking about 365 earth days, then no. Each planet moves at a different speed around the sun and the farther from the sun, the slower the rotation.
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.
How many earth days does it take each planet to spin?
The following is the number of days (approximately) that it takes for each planet to orbit the Sun: Mercury 87.6 Venus 222.65 Mars 686.2 Jupiter 4,332.55 Saturn 10,749.25 Uranus 30,685.55 Neptune 60,188.5

Why does the length of the day and night vary from planet to planet?
Because of the difference in speed of rotation of each planet.

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.
What is the rotation time for each planet?
123456789 km per second
What is the number of each planet's rotation?
One.That is the definition of a rotation. Once around it's axis.See related question for the periods
Does each planet take the same amount of time to make on complete rotation?
no they do not
What do you notice about the rotation and revolution periods of the moon?
They are the same. The Moon rotates once for each revolution around the Earth.
What is the time of revolution the planets?
The period of rotation for each of the planets is as follows - the sidereal rotation (rotation time against background stars); PlanetSidereal rotational periodMercury58.646225Venus-243.0187Earth0.99726957Mars1.02595675Jupiter0.41007Saturn0.426Uranus-0.71833Neptune0.67125
What is the length of a day on each planet?
The length of time it takes to complete one full rotation
What is so unique about Pluto's and Neptune's period of revolution?
They intercept each other. =]
