Which planet has a rotation period closest in length to earth's rotation period?
Mars, with a rotation period of 24 hours 37 minutes 23 seconds (time taken for one spin on its axis relative to background stars).
27 days on earth is equal to one rotation of the sun Earth is approximately 93 million miles from the sun 1.000 earth years is one day of planet x time or one rotation How far is planet x from earth?
Time of rotation of a planet does not depend on distance from another planet.
What happens because of a planet's revolution?
In astronomical terms, revolution refers to a revolving around an axis outside the object, in this case the solar orbit of a planet - the completion of one period of which is called the planet's year. (Mostly because of axial tilt this also brings about the seasons.) By contrast, the rotation about an axis going through the object (spin) brings about the planet's day.
What planet is short?
The Period of revolution decribes the time taken for an object to orbit another or the orbital period. For the Gas giant planets, this is the closest of the four - Jupiter. the closer a planet is to the sun (or any orbiting object is to another), the shorter the period of revolution. Jupiters period of revolution about the sun is 11 years and 314 days. The rotation period is the time it takes a planet to spin once on its axis, rotating about its axis. This has no relationship to the planet to sun distance, although again it is Jupiter at 9h 55 mins to make one turn. This is the quickest out of all eight planets.
Venus' period of rotation?
Venus rotates once (one Venusian day) every 243 standard (Earth) days. It orbits the Sun every 224.7 standard days. Yes, that means that its rotation takes longer than does its trip around the Sun. In a few million more years, Venus may always have the same side facing the Sun, just as Earth's Moon always has one side facing Earth.
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).
One complete turn of a planet on its axis?
It is not an orbit, it is a ROTATE.
Do all planets turn?
All planets turn on their axis. This is called the planet's rotation; one complete rotation is equal to one day on that planet.
Which planet has a rotation period closest in length to earth's rotation period?
Mars, with a rotation period of 24 hours 37 minutes 23 seconds (time taken for one spin on its axis relative to background stars).
How many hours in one day to planet mercury?
Mercury has a rotation period of 58.646 days.
What is the period of a planet?
The period can refer to one of two things: the planets rotation about its axis (how long its day is) and the rotation around its star (how long its year is).
What planet requires one earth year to rotate on its axis?
There is no such planet known. The planet with the longest rotation period is Venus. That rotates in about 243 Earth days.
Which planet has the closest period of rotation to earth?
Mars, with a rotation period of 24 hours 37 minutes 23 seconds (time taken for one spin on its axis relative to background stars).
Which one of these planet completes its rotation in 59-60 Earth days venus mercury mars Jupiter?
Rotation means the planet spinning about it axis. (Orbit the the path of the planet round the Sun). The planet Mercury has a rotational period of 58.646 Earth days. The planet Venus has a (retrograde) rotational period of 243.0185 Earth days. The planet Mars has a rotational period of 1.025957 Earth days. The planet Jupiter has a rotational period of 9.925 hours. Obviously Earth has a rotational period of 1 Earth day.
This planet requires 59-60 earth days to complete one rotation on its axis?
Mercury is probably the closest with a sidereal rotation period of 58.646 days
What is planet Saturn's exact orbit and rotation periods?
The orbital period is 29.447498 years and the rotational period is 0.44401 days. These values are approximate, one can never know the exact figures.
What else can you say about the revolution period for mars?
Mars takes 686.971 days relative to the distant stars to make one full orbit. Revolution refers to the orbit of a planet; rotation refers to the turning of a planet on its axis. Its period of (sidereal) rotation is 24.6229 hours (one sidereal day).
