∙ 10y agoThat would be the planet Mars that has almost the same rotational period as earth's.
Wiki User
∙ 6y agoIf you mean "nearly the same as EARTH", Mars's period of rotation is fairly close.

Which one of these planet completes its rotation in 59-60 Earth days venus mercury mars Jupiter?
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.
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.
What planet has a rotation period of 24 and a half hours but its year is 687 earth days?
the answer is... Mars!
Which planet has a rotation period most like earths?
Mars rotates 24h 37m 22.7s* Earth's rotation is 23h 56m 4.100s
Which planet has the closest period of rotation to earth?
Mars, with a rotation period of 24 hours 37 minutes 23 seconds (time taken for one spin on its axis relative to background stars).
How do Jupiter's density and period of rotation compare to Earth's?
Jupiter is less dense and has a shorter period of rotation.
What planet rotates around its axis most like the earth?
Mars. It has a very similar axis tilt and rotation period.
What is period of rotation and revolution of Venus?
Venus' period of rotation is 243 Earth days. Its period of revolution is 224. 7 Earth days. The revolution period is the length of a year in Earth days on Venus. This planet is a terrestrial planet.
What is Mercury's rotation period and what does rotation mean?
mercury's rotation period is 58.647 earth days. a rotation is when the planet turns around on its axis, like what the earth does once every day.
What planet's rotation time is the most similar to Earth's?
That's Mars.
Which planet rotates in its axis in about the same time that earth does?
Mars. It's slightly longer at about 24 hours and 37 mins, but this period of rotation is very similar to Earth's.
The planet with the largest rotation?
The planet with the largest (or longest) rotation period is Venus, at 243 Earth days (retrograde, meaning clockwise, instead of counterclockwise like the Earth).

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.
What is the speed of rotation?
Mercury rotates on its axis which similar to the earth. However, it takes 177 earth days for the small planet to make one rotation.
What planet requires one earth year to rotate on its axis?
There is no such planet known. The planet with the longest rotation period is Venus. That rotates in about 243 Earth days.
What is the period of rotation to equal 1 day on the planet Venus?
about 243 earth days
