You have to watch it and record its position every night until it has travelled right round the ecliptic until it gets back to where you first saw it. The time taken is called the synodic period. Then you have to allow for the fact that the Earth has been going round at the same time. That gives the true orbital period.
What else can I help you with?
Is the period of revolution dependent on the size of the planet?
No. The period of revolution depends on the size of the orbit of the planet.
How do you find the number revolution days of each planet?
To find the number of revolution days of a planet, you can use the formula: revolution days = orbital period / rotation period. The orbital period is how long it takes for the planet to complete one orbit around the sun, while the rotation period is how long it takes for the planet to rotate on its axis. This formula will give you the number of days it takes for the planet to complete one full rotation around its axis.
How does planet distance from the sun affect the period of revolution?
How does a planet's distance from the sun affect its period of revolution?
Which planet has the shortest period of revolution as measured relative to earths time?
The planet that has the shortest period of revolution is Mercury, which is 88 days. The planet with the longest revolution is Neptune, which is 165 years. Earth's revolution is the third shortest.
Which planet has twice the earth period of revolution?
Mars has roughly twice the Earth's period of revolution.
What is period of rotation and revolution of Venus?
Venus' period of rotation is 243 Earth days. Its period of revolution is 224. 7 Earth days. The revolution period is the length of a year in Earth days on Venus. This planet is a terrestrial planet.
What is planet Mars revolution?
Mars has a period of revolution of 687 days.
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).
How is the distance of a planet from the sun related to its period of revolution?
The farther it is from the sun the longer its period of revolution (its "year").
What is the differences between a planet's period of rotation and its period of revolution?

The inner planet with the shortest period of revolution is?
The inner planet with the shortest period of revolution is Mercury, which orbits the sun once every 88 Earth days.
What is the revolution of planet Mars?
The period of revolution of Mars is 687 Earth days.
