Which of the inner planets have the shortest day?
Of the four inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars), Earth has the shortest day at 23 hours and 56 minutes sidereal rotation period. That's the "sidereal day". The day that lasts exactly 24 hours is called the "solar day". For both "days", Earth has the shortest day.
What is the fastest revolving planet?
I don't believe we have rotation information about any planets outside the Solar System yet (orbital characteristics, yes; rotation, no). In the Solar System, Jupiter has the shortest rotational period at a little under 10 hours.
Compare the rotational period of the inner and outer planets?
The rotational period of the inner planets is much faster than the rotational period of the outer planets. The rotation of some planets takes years to complete.
What is the difference between planets period of rotation and period of revolution?
The difference between the rotation and revoulution is that rotation is the spiinning of the planet on its axis and revoulution is the orbiting of the planet around the sun.
What is the longest day in colorado?
The longest period of daylight happens at the summer solstice. The shortest day occurs at the winter solstice.
Do the inner or outer planets have the longest rotation period?
outer planets.
Which planet has the longest rotation period?
Pluto has the longest REVOLUTION period Venus has the longest ROTATION period
What planets has the fastest period rotation?
Jupiter - it has the shortest day and the fastest roational speed
What planet has the second shortest day?
Mercury has the 2nd longest "sidereal day" with a sidereal rotation period of 58.646 Earth days. The longest "sidereal day" day is Venus, with a sidereal rotation period of 243.018 Earth daysIf you use the "solar day" as your definition of "day", the order is reversed. Mercury then has the longest day and Venus has the second longest day.

How does a planets period of rotation differ from its period of revolution?
they have different distances from the sun
