How do the period of rotation and revolution for the gas giant planets differ from those of Earth?

It is so much greater because the planets are made out of gas and gas are inside a wind storm or should i say a wind cycle and that is my answer.


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

Rotation describes an orbit, which in the case of a planet is around the sun, whereas revolution means spinning on an axis. The Earth revolves on its axis once per day, and rotates around the sun once per year.


What is the difference of a planets period of rotation and period of revolution?

The difference between the rotation and revoulution is that rotation is the spiinning of the planet on its axis and revoulution is the orbiting of the planet around the sun.


What is the difference between planets period of rotation and period of revolution?

The difference between the rotation and revoulution is that rotation is the spiinning of the planet on its axis and revoulution is the orbiting of the planet around the sun.

What is the difference between a planet's period of rotation and period of revolution?

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 period of rotation and revolution of Mars?

What is the period of rotation and revolution of all planets from the sun?

You can look up information on the individual planets on Wikipedia. I am not sure the information is readily available as a ready-made list, so you may have to compile it yourself. The revolution around the Sun is listed as "orbital period".
