The relationship that exists between a planet's distance from the Sun and its period of revolution is that the closer the planet is from the Sun, the less amount of time it takes for the planet to complete its period of revolution.

What is the relationship between distance from the sun and period of revolution?
the planets
What is the relationship between the distance of the planets from the sun and the time it takes to revolve around the sun?
there is no true relationship between distance from the sun and orbit time as some planets go revolves at a different velocity.
What is the relationship between a planet's rotation and a planet's revolution?
There is no real relationship, a planets spin depends on collisions it may have had in the past, rather than on its distance from the sun (which governs its orbital rotation time around the sun).
What do the length of the planets year and its distance from the sun have in common?
There is a relationship between the planets distance from the sun and the time taken for one orbit (planets year), described in Keplers third law. The square root of the time taken to orbit the sun is proportional to the cube of the average distance between the sun.
What is the relationship between earth day length and the distance from the sun?
There is no direct relationship between the rotation of a planet (which governs day length) and a planets distance from the sun. The nature of the planets spin is more to do with the formation of the system early on, by large impacts of the more numerous bodies that would have been around.

What is the relationship between a planets distance from the sun and distance between planets?
If two planets are in orbits with radii of R1 and R2, the distance between them varies from R2-R1 to R2+R1.
What are the comparisons of the revolution times of planets and can you relate them to distance from the sun.?
The relationship is given by Kepler's Third Law.

What is the relationship between the diameter of the planets and their positions from the sun?
There is no real relationship between their diameter and distance from the sun, except that you could say that the four outer gas planets are much bigger than the four inner rocky (or terrestrial) planets.
What two factors affect a planets revolution?
Two factors that affect a planets revolution are distance from the sun and size.
What do the length of the planets year and its distance from the sun have in common?
