No, when an object is revolving it is either: 1.following a fixed orbital path around another object (the Earth around the Sun), or 2.rotating on an axis (the Earth does both). When the object makes one full trip around it's orbit or one full turn on its axis that is ONE revolution. One revolution of the Earth around the Sun is a year. One revolution of the Earth about its axis is 24 hours.

∙ 8y agoOnly if the object is tidally locked to its parent body. In such a case, the same side of the object always faces the parent body. Most of the moons in the solar system are tidally locked to their planets, but none of the planets are tidally locked to the sun. Earth, for example, takes just under 24 hours to complete a full rotation but 265.25 days to complete a revolution.

Compare the period of revolution between mercury and plutowhat is the ratio between their period of rotation and why?
IT IS not The same Period of rotation Because tthe mercury have rotation g9 days and the pluto have a rotation 6.4 days so it is not the same BY:JULLIA TUTANES :P
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 Mercury's period of rotation and revolution?
Rotation period (length of day in Earth days) 58.65 earth days Revolution period (length of year in Earth days)87.97 earth days
What is the length of rotation and revolution periods of your planet?
The rotation periodof Earth is about23 hours and 56minutes. The revolution period of Earth around the Sun is approximately 365.25 days.
What is the period of revolution and rotaion of mars?
Although Mars is slightly more than half the size of Earth, its period of revolution is almost the same as Earth's. It takes Mars exactly twenty four hours, thirty seven minutes, and twenty three seconds to complete one rotation.
What is the moon rotation and revolution?
The Moon always keeps the same side facing Earth so its rotation period is the same as its period of revolution around the Earth. These periods are both about 27.3 Earth days.

What is the period of rotation of callisto?
Callisto rotation is synchronously locked with Jupiter, so it's rotation is the same as its revolution of 16.689 days.
What phenomenon results when the moon's period of rotation and revolution are the same?
precession of the equinoxes
What is period of rotation and revolution of Mars?
its revolution period is 687 (Earth) days.And its rotation period is 24 hours, 39 minutes
Which planet has the longest rotation period?
Pluto has the longest REVOLUTION period Venus has the longest ROTATION period
What is period of rotation and revolution of Venus?
Venus' period of rotation is 243 Earth days. Its period of revolution is 224. 7 Earth days. The revolution period is the length of a year in Earth days on Venus. This planet is a terrestrial planet.
What is the period of a planets revolution can be used to calculate the planet?
The period of a planet's revolution is the time that it takes to complete one revolution around its axis of rotation relative to the background stars (also known as rotation period).
How is revolution and rotation of planets the same?
revolution-is the revolving of an object around another object. rotation-is the spinning of an object on its axis. revolution and rotation are two different concepts but, are alike in some way. Rotation- Dominic

What is the difference between a period of rotation and a period of revolution?
Let's say Michael Jordan (Is he still playing ? I never know.) Let's say Michael Jordan is walking around the arena spinning a basketball on the end of his finger. 'Rotation' is what the ball is doing on the end of his finger. The Earth's period of rotation is 1 day. 'Revolution' is what the ball is doing around the arena at the same time. The Earth's period of revolution is 1 year.
What is the period of revolution and rotation in earth time?
the moon
