There is no real relationship, a planets spin depends on collisions it may have had in the past, rather than on its distance from the sun (which governs its orbital rotation time around the sun).

What is the relationship between distance from the sun and period of revolution?
the planets
What is the relationship between a planets movement and a planets rotation and revolution?
Each year, the planet moves one full rotation around the sun, a movement. Each day, the planet revolves once, that's why in the day there is light because you are facing the sun, but when the earth revolves some more it is facing away from the sun eliminating the sun's light.
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.
Why are planets orb shape?
It is a process when the planet is formed, and the rotation/revolution of the planet around the sun.
How do the periods of rotation and revolution for the gas giant planets different from those of Earth?
because of the sun
What is the relationship between distance from the sun and period of revolution?

What is the relationship between the period of revolution and distance from the sun?

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 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 of 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 rotation and its revolution?
The planets rotate around their rotational axes and revolve around the sun.
How is revolution and rotation of planets the same?
revolution-is the revolving of an object around another object. rotation-is the spinning of an object on its axis. revolution and rotation are two different concepts but, are alike in some way. Rotation- Dominic
An example of rotation?
rotation-planets on axis revolution-planets in orbit
What are the two movement of the planets?
orbit and rotation there is also a wobble or tilt that can fluctuate
