How long does it take the planets to make a complete rotation?

The earth takes 365.25 days to complete one orbital revolution around the sun. In one of nature's most astonishing coincidences, this happens to be almost precisely one year.


What planet has the slowest rotation rate?

The velocity of a planet around the sun is inversely related to the distance from the sun. So the slowest planets are the ones farthest out. If you consider Pluto a planet, it takes the longest time to revolve around the sun. If you do not consider Pluto a planet, then Neptune would be the farthest planet from the sun and takes the longest time to revolve around the sun.


Which planet has a rotation period longer than its revolution?

Venus has a rotation period longer than its revolution. It takes about 243 Earth days for Venus to complete one rotation on its axis, while it orbits the Sun in about 225 Earth days. This results in Venus having a longer day (rotation period) than its year (revolution period).


What is the speed of 100 KG person at the earth's equator?

Are you talking about the speed of rotation of the Earth's surface at the equator ? Angularly, that would be 1 rotation/day, or roughly 1,038 miles per hour linearly. The man's mass makes no difference. When a group of people all get together at the equator, we don't see the heavy ones racing ahead or lagging behind the light ones.

What is the altitude of a satellite which takes 90 minutes to complete its orbit?

The altitude of a satellite that takes 90 minutes to complete its orbit is approximately 680 kilometers above the Earth's surface. This type of satellite is known as a Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite and is commonly used for applications such as Earth observation and communication.


If the earth moves around the sun why do you see the same stars every night?

You don't. The stars you see at night in the winter are not the same ones you see in the summer. Earth takes a full year to revolve around the sun, so the stars will not appear very different from one night to the next, but you would notice a change if you watched carefully over the course of several months.

What is the crop of rotation?

Crop rotation is a technique used by farmers to sustain the health of soil. Certain plants are more taxing on the soil so it is necessary to rotate which ones are planted.
