Which one of these planet completes its rotation in 59-60 Earth days venus mercury mars Jupiter?

Rotation means the planet spinning about it axis. (Orbit the the path of the planet round the Sun). The planet Mercury has a rotational period of 58.646 Earth days. The planet Venus has a (retrograde) rotational period of 243.0185 Earth days. The planet Mars has a rotational period of 1.025957 Earth days. The planet Jupiter has a rotational period of 9.925 hours. Obviously Earth has a rotational period of 1 Earth day.


One day on which planet equals 318 earth days?

There are no planets in our solar system with a rotational period of 318 days. The longest is Venus, with a rotational period of 243 days.


Is there any planet which have same rotational and revolution periods as earth?

No. Mars has a similar rotational period but not revolution. For a planet to have the same revolution period as Earth would mean it would have to be in the same Orbit as Earth, with catastrophic results. One was in the same orbit as Earth during it's formation, it crashed into the Earth creating the Moon. It's possible that some extrasolar planet (that is, a planet of a star other than the Sun) might by coincidence have nearly the same rotational and/or revolution period, but we don't know of any yet (and it's not very likely that we ever will).


What planet has the most similar rotation period to Earth?

Venus has a rotation period that is most similar to Earth's, with a day on Venus lasting approximately 243 Earth days. This means that Venus has the longest rotation period of any planet in our solar system.


What planet has the slowest rotational period of the outer planets?

Uranus.


What planet has a very slow rotational period?

Venus, with a rotation period of 243 days.


Rotational period of mercury?

mercury is the first planet closest to the sun which makes it the hottest. its period of revolution is 88 days.


What planet has a rotational period closest to Earth's?

Mars -- it takes 24 hours, 39 minutes, and 35.244 seconds for a complete rotation.


What is the rotation of the planet?

Earth makes one complete rotation in 0.99726968 days... that is 23 hours 56 minutes 4.100352 seconds. The rotation of a planet is when it spins on its axis. Different planets have different rotational periods. A rotational period is the amount of time it take an object to make one revolution. A rotational period can be more or less than the planet's actual day length depending on the direction it orbits its star relative to the direction it rotates. The rotational period and the day length are only the same when either the planet does not rotate(1 day = 1 year) or when the planet rotates at the same speed it orbits(one side always has day).


What do you call the period of time does it take for a planet to turn on its own axis?

Rotational period or day


What is Callisto's rotational period?

Callisto's rotational period is about 16.7 Earth days, which is the time it takes for Callisto to complete one full rotation on its axis. Callisto is tidally locked to Jupiter, meaning the same side always faces the planet as it orbits.


What is Venus's rotation period?

The rotational period of Venus is 243 Earth days.
