What else can I help you with?
What are the two motions of the planets?
Rotation (i.e. how long it takes to turn around once - a day or 24 hours roughly) and Revolution (i.e. how long it takes to move around the Sun once - a year or 365.25 days approximately).
What planet revolves around the sun once?
All planets continuously revolve ( or 'orbit') around the Sun. No planet orbits the Sun just once.
How many days are in a Martian week?
Weeks are sets of 7 days used solely for Earth. Other planets have years because a year is the time it takes to go around the sun once and days because a day is how long it takes to turn once, but they do not have special months or weeks. So there is no such thing as a Martian week.Weeks are sets of 7 days used solely for Earth.

How long is a day and a year on the planet?
A planets day (solar day) is the time it takes to rotate once on its axis relative to the sun, the synodic period. A year on a planet is the time taken for the planet travel once around the sun.
What planets has the shortest of revolutions?
Mecury.Mercury. Mercury only takes 88 days to orbit once around the sun.Mercury. It revolves around the Sun once in about 88 Earth days.
How long does it take mars to make a full rotation around the sun?
Mars does not rotate around the Sun. It revolves around the Sun. It takes Mars about 687 Earth days for Mars to revolve once around the Sun.Planets and moons rotate about their own axes, but they revolve around the Sun (for planets) or (for moons) other planets.
How does a planet move in two ways at once?
Planets are rotating, that is spinning, and they are also orbiting, going around, the sun.
Why planets do not collide with each other?
In our Universe, angular momentum is a conserved quantity. What that means is that, once a planet is orbiting a star at one speed and radius, neither of the latter two can possibly change unless some outisde force (more precisely, a torque) acts on that planet. Long ago, all planets going around our Sun achieved specific speeds and radii of orbit -- and, in our Universe, they'll maintain both of those for billions of years.
Which planet travels the least distance to go around once?
Mercury travels the least distance to go around the Sun once, as it has the shortest orbital path of all the planets in our solar system.
How does Charon's orbit around Pluto different from the orbits of most moons around their planets?
Charon orbits once every time Pluto rotates once. Other moons(including ours)don't do that.
How does Charons orbit around Pluto differ from the orbits of most moons around their planets?
Charon orbits once every time Pluto rotates once. Other moons(including ours)don't do that.
Is mercury an inferior or superior planet?
Yes. The inferior planets not only move faster, but also have a smaller path, to go once around the Sun. So, both of these factors contribute for the interior planets to take less time to go once around the Sun.
