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
IT IS not The same Period of rotation Because tthe mercury have rotation g9 days and the pluto have a rotation 6.4 days so it is not the same BY:JULLIA TUTANES :P
Rotation period (length of day in Earth days) 58.65 earth days Revolution period (length of year in Earth days)87.97 earth days
Mercury completes one revolution in about 88 Earth days. This is due to its slow rotation. Mercury is a terrestrial planet that is the nearest to the sun. A day on Mercury is about 58.5 Earth days.

It takes Mercury 1407.6 Earth hours to make one full rotation around its axis.
The movement around the Sun is called "revolution", not "rotation". It takes Mercury 88 days for one revolution - almost three months.
Rotation on its axis takes about 58.6 Earth days and revolution around the Sun takes about 88 Earth days.
Mercury is the fastest revolving planet. The speed of a particular planet depends on its revolution around the sun as well as its rotation on its own axis. The fastest planet of the solar system with reference to revolution is Mercury. On the other hand, the fastest planet with reference to rotation is Jupiter.
Jupiter takes 10 hours to complete one rotation.
Mercury has a oval rotation because of the suns gravity
