The period can refer to one of two things: the planets rotation about its axis (how long its day is) and the rotation around its star (how long its year is).
Johannes Kepler is credited as the man who defined the period of a planet.

How does a planet's distance from the sun affect its period of revolution?
Rotation means the planet spinning about it axis. (Orbit the the path of the planet round the Sun). The planet Mercury has a rotational period of 58.646 Earth days. The planet Venus has a (retrograde) rotational period of 243.0185 Earth days. The planet Mars has a rotational period of 1.025957 Earth days. The planet Jupiter has a rotational period of 9.925 hours. Obviously Earth has a rotational period of 1 Earth day.
The square of the orbital period of a planet is directly proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit.
Neptune.
a planet's orbital period. based off kepler's 3rd law (Wrong.)The planet's orbital radius. (Correct.)
No. The period of revolution depends on the size of the orbit of the planet.
A planet's orbital period is also known as its year.

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.
A year (or orbital period) is defined as the period it takes a planet to orbit the Sun.

The answer is Mercury.
The square of the orbital period of a planet is directly proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit.
It differs from planet to planet
