You are probably thinking of Mercury which revolves around the Sun in 59 days. The word 'rotate' means turning on its axis. We call that a day. The Earth rotates in one day or 24 hours. Mercury rotates (its day) in 176 Earth days. Mercury is really interesting because its day is almost 3 Mercury Years long.
The path that planets take around the sun is called it's orbit. The gravitation pull of the sun keeps each planet in it's orbit. Each planets orbit varies in the time it takes to make one trip around the sun.
A planet is a large object that moves around a star in a solar system.
The earth moves around the sun in a elliptical orbit.
The moon moves in its orbit around the Earth due to the gravitational force between the two bodies. This orbit is not circular but elliptical, causing the moon's distance from Earth to vary. Additionally, the moon rotates on its axis at the same rate that it orbits the Earth, resulting in the same side of the moon always facing Earth.
Its tendency to remain in straight-line motion
All of them do.
An object that moves in an elliptical path around another object could be a satellite orbiting a planet, such as a moon around Earth. The elliptical path follows the laws of gravity and allows the object to maintain a stable orbit.
Each planet moves in its own elliptical orbit round the Sun, then and now.
The path that one object such as a planet takes as it moves around another object is called an orbit. Orbits can be elliptical, circular, or other shapes, depending on the gravitational forces between the two objects.
Moon moves around the planet Earth in an orbit and rotates on its own axis. It takes moon around 28 days to move around the planet Earth. Normally, the moon takes around 27 days to rotate on its axis.
The path that planets take around the sun is called it's orbit. The gravitation pull of the sun keeps each planet in it's orbit. Each planets orbit varies in the time it takes to make one trip around the sun.
An oval path around the Sun is when instead of going in a circle around the Sun it goes in an oval course (like the shape of an egg). If you research the dwarf planet Pluto then you'll find it has an eliptical path around the Sun, this is the same as an oval path. Good luck and I hope this helps!!

The Earth is a planet that rotates around the sun the solar system. The earthÕs moves on an axis and it moves eastward at a steady pace around the sun. The earth is self has power movement of plates which over thousands of years has created what we know of as our continents.
Because its orbit around the sun is so elliptical and it moves quickly. This is why until the messenger spacecraft went into orbit around it three months ago, there were no complete maps of this planet.
Mercury is the planet closest to the Sun. As Mercury rotates slowly on its axis about once every 59 Earth days, it moves in an elliptical or oval-shaped orbit around the Sun, faster than any other planet.
A planet moves along its orbit around the sun in an elliptical path due to gravitational force. The planet travels at varying speeds, with faster speeds near perihelion (closest point to the sun) and slower speeds near aphelion (farthest point from the sun).
