Yes. time is measured by the speed of the rotation of the earth.
Revolution is the time a planet takes to revolve around itself. Rotation is the time a planet takes to orbit the Sun.
because of the earths rotation and revolution.
Saturn's revolution time, the time it takes to orbit around the sun, is about 29.5 Earth years. Saturn's rotation time, its day length, is about 10.7 hours, making it one of the fastest rotating planets in our solar system.
The rotation of a planet refers to the planet spinning like a top; a "revolution" is the time required for the planet's orbit around the Sun.
It is called synchronous rotation when the rotation and orbit take the same amount of time.
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
Rotation: approx 24.6 hoursRevolution: approx 687 earth days.
The path we travel is an orbit. One complete time around that path is a revolution. Rotation is the act of turning on an axis.
