Compare the rotational period of the inner and outer planets?
The rotational period of the inner planets is much faster than the rotational period of the outer planets. The rotation of some planets takes years to complete.
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.
Which planets have the longest and shortest period of rotation?
''Mercury (shortest),''Neptune (longest)
What is the period of a planets revolution can be used to calculate the planet?
The period of a planet's revolution is the time that it takes to complete one revolution around its axis of rotation relative to the background stars (also known as rotation period).
Which one of the following planets has equal periods of rotation and revolution?
well, it just so happens I've done research in this type of stuff in school, and i can remember, and tell you that the 2 planets that have the closest period of rotation are Jupiter and Saturn.
Do the inner or outer planets have the longest rotation period?
outer planets.
What planets fastest rotation also the smallest planet?
it both has 4 sides
How does a planets period of rotation differ from its period of revolution?
they have different distances from the sun
What is the time of revolution the planets?
The period of rotation for each of the planets is as follows - the sidereal rotation (rotation time against background stars); PlanetSidereal rotational periodMercury58.646225Venus-243.0187Earth0.99726957Mars1.02595675Jupiter0.41007Saturn0.426Uranus-0.71833Neptune0.67125

Which inner planets have retrograde rotation?
Out of the four, only Venus. Mercury's rotation is very slow though, compared with its orbital period of the sun.
What is the period of a planets revolution can be used to calculate the planet?
The period of a planet's revolution is the time that it takes to complete one revolution around its axis of rotation relative to the background stars (also known as rotation period).
How fast does is the planets rotation?
Well, if you are talking about Earth's rotation period it is 165.25 days, 12 months, 3,966 hours, a.k.a. 1 year.
