Rotation for a planet means spinning, and one complete rotation is a day (on that planet). All of the planets have different spin velocity, and therefore different day lengths. The shortest is Jupiter at under 10 Earth hours, and the longest is Venus (which rotates "backward" or clockwise) taking 243 Earth days.

How does the phenomenon of a tidal locked moon affect its rotation and revolution around its parent planet?

When a moon is tidally locked to its parent planet, it means that one side of the moon always faces the planet while the other side remains hidden. This phenomenon affects the moon's rotation by causing it to rotate on its axis at the same rate that it orbits the planet. As a result, the moon's rotation and revolution are synchronized, with one side always facing the planet and the other side always facing away.
