Why do inner planets have shorter revolution periods than the gas giants?
It doesn't matter that the gas giants are giant; what matters is their distance from the Sun. Inner planets have shorter revolution periods for two reasons: (1) they move faster; and (2) the total distance they have to travel is less.
How do the periods of rotation and revolution for the gas giants differ from those on Earth?
This is a hard question...but the answer is:the gas giants are further away,so the the sun has less gravity power on the gas planets,so the revolution is slower than the inner planets (including Earth). However, the rotation period is faster than Earth. Jupiter's is 9h 55m, Saturn's is 10h 38m, Uranus' is 17h 14m, and Neptune's is 16h 6m.
When do stars become red giants?
Stars become Red Giants when the main sequence ends in a star which can be different periods of time depend on if it is a high-massive star or a low-massive star. :)
How long does it take Saturn to make one rotation?
Everyone knows that it takes the Earth 24 hours to make one rotation. Saturn on the other hand, takes 10 hours and 45 minutes to complete one rotation.
Which characteristic of the gas giants decrease with increasing distance from the sun?
Characteristic details given: A.) equatorial diameter B.) period of rotation C.) number of moons D.) both A and C Answer : D.) both A and C

What is the rotation's name where bands move at different speeds?
We call it differential rotation when parts of a body move at different speeds. This is true of the gas giants, and of the sun, too.
