What causes a planets's period of revolution around the sun to be longer or shorter?
It's the distance from the Sun that determines the period of revolution. The period squared is proportional to the distance cubed, so if it is at a distance of 4 astronomical units, it takes 8 years to go round.
Why do planets have different periods of revolution?
The planets are not all the same distance from the Sun, which determines how far they have to travel, and how fast they are moving. Planets farther from the Sun have much longer orbits and are not moving as quickly. So their period of revolution (year) is longer.

What determines a planet's period of revolution?
A planets period or revolution, the time taken to orbit its star, is dependant on its mass, the stars mass and the distance between the two. See Kepler's laws of planetary motion for further information.
