The size of the planet and the inertia it begins with. Inertia is the resistance to changing velocity (either speed or direction). All objects in the universe are already moving, so the planet, while moving, was caught in gravity of another object (like the Sun) and trapped in revolution. The amount of inertia, determined by mass, normally, influences how fast an object revolves.

Which planet has the shortest period of revolution as measured relative to earths time?
The planet that has the shortest period of revolution is Mercury, which is 88 days. The planet with the longest revolution is Neptune, which is 165 years. Earth's revolution is the third shortest.
What is a planetary revolution?
A revolution is the period it takes for the planet to revolve one time around the sun. Its otherwise known as the planet's year.
How does the orbit of each planet depends on its distance from the sun?
The square of the time period of revolution is directly proportional to the cube of the mean distance between the planet and its Sun. T2 α R3T = Time Period R = Length of the semi-major axis
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).
What is meant about rotation and revolution of a planet?
Rotation of a planet means the overall time of day and night, time for rotate on its own axis. In our earth 12 hours for night and 12 hour for day, total 24 hours. In Venus it takes 117 earth days, as a matter of fact it takes 225 earth days to complete its revolution. It is depends upon gravity. Revolution is time for round round the sun. 365 days and 6 hours in earth is called a year, that means it completed one revolution. The 6 hours is counted 24 hours that means 1 day in 4 years called a leap year. That one day is added to February as 29 days.
What is meant by rotation and revolution of a planet?
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.
Does the planet with the shortest revolution have the shortest rotation?
No, the planet with the shortest revolution does not necessarily have the shortest rotation. Revolution refers to the time it takes for a planet to complete one orbit around the sun, while rotation refers to the time it takes for a planet to complete one full spin on its axis. These two periods can be different for each planet.
Which planet has the shortest period of revolution as measured relative to earths time?
The planet that has the shortest period of revolution is Mercury, which is 88 days. The planet with the longest revolution is Neptune, which is 165 years. Earth's revolution is the third shortest.
What is a planetary revolution?
A revolution is the period it takes for the planet to revolve one time around the sun. Its otherwise known as the planet's year.
What is the difference between rotation and revolution with regard to the solar system?
Revolution is the time a planet takes to revolve around itself. Rotation is the time a planet takes to orbit the Sun.
Which planet with the period of revolution is closest to Earth's?
Venus with a revolution time of 224.7 Earth days
What planet takes shortest time to complete revolution?
Mercury
What do you call the time it takes for a planet to orbit a star?
revolution
The time it takes a planet bto orbit the sun once is its...?
revolution
When a planet has traveled around the Sun one time it has made a?
revolution
How does the orbit of each planet depends on its distance from the sun?
The square of the time period of revolution is directly proportional to the cube of the mean distance between the planet and its Sun. T2 α R3T = Time Period R = Length of the semi-major axis
What does Earth complete once yearly?
The Earth completes one revolution around the Sun ina year.(The orbital period of a planet is known as its year, and each planet requires a different period of time to complete a revolution around the Sun. Some take many Earth years.)
