Day
The moon takes approximately 27.3 days to complete one rotation on its axis. This period is known as its sidereal rotation period and is the same as its orbital period around the Earth.
The planet Jupiter completes one rotation on its axis every 9.9 hours, which makes it the fastest rotation in the entire Solar System. The Earth's rotation is approximately 24 hours.
Mars, with a rotation period of 24 hours 37 minutes 23 seconds (time taken for one spin on its axis relative to background stars).
That is how we define a day. On Earth the period of rotation is around 24 hours = 1 Earth Day. On Jupiter, something over 9 hours = 1 Jovian Day.
The period of rotation is the time required for a planet to spin around once on its axis. For Earth it is about 23 hours and 56 minutes.
It takes Pluto 6.4 earth days to complete one rotation.
The earth completes one rotation on its axis in 23hours 56minutes 4seconds. (rounded)
The period of earth's rotation on its axis is 23hours56minutes4seconds of mean solar time.
the moon
Mercury completes one rotation every 58.6462 earth days, or 0.160675 earth years. Rotation refers to the time a planet takes to spin around its axis, commonly called a day.Revolution is the term used in reference to the period of time taken to complete one full orbit -- a year. Mercury completes one revolution every 87.9693 earth days, or 0.241012 earth years.This means that, if you lived on Mercury, your life expectancy would be 327.2 years; it also means that there would be exactly 1.5 days in a year.
The moon completes one orbital revolution around the earth in 27.32 days. The moon also completes one rotation on its axis in exactly the same time.
Mercury's rotation period is 59 Earth days.
