What is the difference between a planets period of rotation and period of revolution?
The difference between the rotation and revoulution is that rotation is the spiinning of the planet on its axis and revoulution is the orbiting of the planet around the sun.

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 the difference between orbits and rotation?
well when something is orbiting a planet that means an object is basically circling the planet due to its gravitational pull. Rotation is the planets rotation not the object surrounding circling it.
How does a planets period of rotation differ from its period of revolution?
they have different distances from the sun
When a planet spins on its axis this is called?
rotation (as opposed to orbiting, which describes the earth's movements around the sun)
