Jupiter, despite being the biggest planet, has the shortest day. It takes Jupiter less than 10 hours to rotate around its axis once. Jupiter rotates at a speed of over 28,000 miles per hour, compared to Earth rotating at just over 1,000 miles per hour (at the equator).

Does the planet with the shortest revolution have the shortest rotation?
No, the planet with the shortest revolution does not necessarily have the shortest rotation. Revolution refers to the time it takes for a planet to complete one orbit around the sun, while rotation refers to the time it takes for a planet to complete one full spin on its axis. These two periods can be different for each planet.
Which planet takes the shortest time to orbit the earth?
No planet orbits Earth.
What planet takes shortest time to complete revolution?
Mercury
What is a period of time it takes for a planet to spin one time around on its axis is the planent's?
It differs from planet to planet
What is the name for the length of time it takes a planet to spin once its axis?
Rotational Period .
What is the name for the length of time it takes a planet to spin once on its axis?
Its rotational period.
What causes a day on a planet?
A day is defined as the time it take a planet to revolve once on it's axis. So it is the time it takes for a planet to "spin" once.
What is the name for the length of time it takes a planet to spin once on it's axis?
Its rotational period.
What is a planet period of rotation?
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.
Does it takes the sun a year to orbit the earth?
A "year" is the time it takes for the earth to orbit the sun. Each planet has it's own year. A "day" is how long it takes for the planet to spin all the way around.
The planet with the shortest rotation time?
Jupiter in the planet with the shortest rotation time, with a day approximately 12 hours long.
What planet takes shortest amount of time to orbit the sun?
Of the known planets in the solar system, Mercury, being nearest to the sun, completes its orbit in the shortest time . . . 88 earth days.
