A planet's revolution is its orbit around the sun. A planet's rotation is its movement about its axis. For example, the Earth's revolution around the sun takes 365.26 days, and its period of rotation is 24 hours.

Which of these planets are considered to have a short revolution?

mercury


Which planets have a short revolution period inner or outer?

Planets closer to the Sun, like Mercury and Venus, have shorter revolution periods because they have shorter distances to travel around the Sun. Outer planets, such as Neptune and Pluto, have longer revolution periods due to their larger orbits.


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 is the model of the solar system named?

An "orrery" is a mechanical contraption, most no bigger than a desktop, that simulates the planets in their revolution around the sun. More complicated (and expensive) models also simulate the planets' rotation on their axes, and the revolution of some of the planets' satellites around their respective planets.


Which planets have short revolution periods?

The revolution period of planets is a bit random but only the most massive planets have a gravity field strong enough for them to rotate quickly without flying apart. So the fastest rotator is also the biggest, Jupiter at 9 hr 55 m. Comment : Assuming the questioner was using the word "revolution" correctly, this question is about the orbital periods of the planets. The answer then is: The nearer a planet is to the Sun the shorter its revolution period.


How is the period of revolution of a planets related to its distance from the sun?

The farther it is from the sun the longer its period of revolution (its "year").
