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).
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).
What is the rotation period of Venus's?
The rotation period of Venus is 243.0187 Earth days
What is Mercury's rotation period and what does rotation mean?
mercury's rotation period is 58.647 earth days. a rotation is when the planet turns around on its axis, like what the earth does once every day.
What is a planet period of rotation?
The period of rotation is the time required for a planet to spin around once on its axis. For Earth it is about 23 hours and 56 minutes.
How speed of rotation of earth depends on distance between earth and sun?
No dependency, when measured on Earth.
How long does it take for the moon to rotate one complete rotation on its axis?
Relative to the Earth, about 29.5 days. Relative to the fixed stars, about 27.3 days. Edit: I don't think that's quite right. I agree with the second part, but I don't think the Moon rotates relative to the Earth at all. It does take about 29.5 days for the Moon to go through all its phases. This is longer than 27.3 days because of the Earth and Moon moving in orbit around the Sun. But that 29.5 day period isn't the Moon's rotation period relative to Earth.
What is the rotation and revoulition period of neptune?
Rotation: 0.6713 earth days.Revolution: 60,182 earth days.
What is the difference between rotation period and orbital period?
period of rotation = day (24 hrs. only for Earth) orbital period = year (not 365.25 days only for Earth)
Mercury rotation on its axis?
Period of rotation is about 58.65 Earth days.
