Since Mars' period of revolution around the sun is 1.88 earth years, and Jupiter's is 11.86 earth years, and since a body's period of orbital revution depends only on its distance from the sun, each body whose orbit lies predominantly between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter has an orbital period between 1.88 and 11.86 earth years.
The asteroid belt is not a "narrow" orbital ring, but a fairly wide orbital pathway in which almost countless rocky bodies orbit the sun. Some of the asteroids are a bit closer to the sun than others, and the periods of the solar orbits of the closer asteroids are a bit shorter than the paths of their neighbors farther out.

∙ 12y agothe period of rotation is between that of mars and that of Jupiter

∙ 13y agoThe asteroids in the belt orbit at different durations.

∙ 9y agoIt depends on personal preference. Me personally i used to go 4 weeks on 4 weeks off and my brother did 6 weeks in 6 weeks off. Either one of these cycles are for sure ok to use.

What is the revolution of the asteroid belt around the sun?
how long does it take the asteroid belt to revolve around the sun?
If an asteroid is 4 AU from the sun and its period of evolution around the sun is 8 years does it obey Kepler's law?
Yes. A version of Kepler's 3rd Law is: The square of the period of revolution of a planet (or asteroid) around the Sun (in Earth years) is equal to the cube of its average distance (in AU from) the Sun. In this case that means 8 squared (64) should equal 4 cubed (64). It does. So, the asteroid is keeping to the Law. Thank goodness for that.
What are asteroid movement patterns?
The asteroid movement is like comets, as they c0ome closer to the sun, the speed of their revolution increases and the gravitational pull also adds up.
Why is Jupiters period revolution?
Jupiter has a period revolution (or orbital period) of 4331 Earth days.
What is the orbital period of asteroid 12867 Joëloïc?
The orbital period of asteroid 12867 Joëloïc is approximately 3.92 years or 1430 days. It completes one orbit around the sun in this time.

Kirkwood gaps in the asteroid belt occur at distances where?
the period of an orbiting asteroid would be a simple fraction (like 1/3 or 1/4) of Jupiter's orbital period.
Was the cretaceous period the last of period?
Yes, right up to the asteroid that may have killed the dino's
The period of revolution is related to?
the period of revolution is related to the semimajor axis.... :)
What is the period of revolution of Pluto's moon?
the period of revolution is about 6.4 days
Why is Jupiters period revolution?
Jupiter has a period revolution (or orbital period) of 4331 Earth days.

How long does it take an asteroid to make 1 revolution around the sun?
.72 light years
Which period is known as the Age of Revolution?
The period from 1750 - 1850 is known as the Age of Revolution.
What was the alvarez asteroid theory?
Briefly, the theory is that the mass extinction which included the loss of the dinosaurs at the end of the Cretaceous period was caused by the impact of a large asteroid.
