The planets rotation does not really relate to the orbital period. Some planets like Mercury and Venus and Mars orbit the sun in a short time, but take a long time to rotate on their axis, Earth is the exception, where a collision with the moon many years ago may have caused its days to be a lot shorter than the other rocky planets. Saturn and Jupiter rotate fairly quickly on their axis.

What would be its approximate period of revolution?

To provide an approximate period of revolution, I would need to know the specific object or celestial body you are referring to. Generally, the period of revolution can be calculated using Kepler's laws of planetary motion, which relate the orbital period to the semi-major axis of an orbit. For example, Earth has a period of revolution of about 365.25 days around the Sun. Please specify the object for a more accurate answer.


How does the planet period of revolution relate with its year?

A planet's period of revolution is the time it takes to complete one full orbit around its star, which directly corresponds to the length of its year. For example, Earth takes about 365.25 days to orbit the Sun, defining one Earth year. This duration varies for other planets based on their distance from the Sun and their orbital speed; for instance, Mercury has a shorter year due to its closer proximity and faster orbit. Thus, a planet's year is essentially a reflection of its orbital dynamics.


How does the period revolution relate to semimajor axis?

The period revolution of an orbiting body is directly related to its semimajor axis through Kepler's Third Law of Planetary Motion. This law states that the square of the orbital period (T) of a planet is directly proportional to the cube of the semimajor axis (a) of its orbit, expressed mathematically as T² ∝ a³. This means that as the semimajor axis increases, the orbital period increases as well, indicating that objects further from a central body take longer to complete an orbit.


What are the comparisons of the revolution times of planets and can you relate them to distance from the sun.?

The relationship is given by Kepler's Third Law.


Does a planet's distance from the sun relate to the time it takes to revolve around the sun?

Yes, its all to do with Kepler's third law of planetary motion, which describes the relationship between the orbital period of the plant and the distance of that planet from the sun. Kepler found that the square of the period, P, is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis, a (P2 = ka3). The planets orbit the sun in an ellispse, the semi major axis is the `longest radius` within this ellipse. Kepler found that a constant `k` was needed in the equation - this was later found to relate to the mass of the objects. The planets mass is usually a lot less than the star its orbiting, so can often be dropped from the equation.


Periodic table relate to electrion configuration?

YES! principle quantum number is the period and we add protons neutrons and electrons as we go to the right. There is an s orbital block and a p orbital block typically what first year students focus on.


What is a radial node and how does it relate to the overall structure of an atomic orbital?

A radial node is a region in an atomic orbital where the probability of finding an electron is zero. It relates to the overall structure of an atomic orbital by influencing the shape and size of the orbital, as well as the distribution of electron density within the orbital.

How does the mass of a planet relate to its distance from the sun?

There is no necessary connection between mass and distance. The mass of a planet does not affect its orbital speed, for example. However the "giant planets" are further from the Sun than the less massive "terrestrial planets". The outer (more massive planets) contain a lot of gases. So, they would surely lose a lot of their mass if they were nearer the Sun. (In fact, we have found planets called "hot Jupiters" orbiting other stars. These are Jupiter type planets, but they orbit very close to their star.)
