What is the difference between planets that rotations time are shorter than earth to planets rotation time that are longer than earth?

The outer planets all rotate faster than the inner planets. Each of them has a rotational period shorter than an Earth day. All of the inner planets have rotational periods longer than one Earth day. The outer planets are mostly made up of hydrogen, helim, and ice, and they are much larger than the inner planets which are mostly iron and various types of rock.


Do the gas planets rotate slower or faster than earth?

Gas planets typically rotate faster than Earth. For example, Jupiter rotates the quickest with a day length of about 10 hours, Saturn has a day length of about 10.7 hours, Uranus about 17 hours, and Neptune about 16 hours. In comparison, Earth rotates once every 24 hours.


Which two planets orbit the sun faster than earth?

Mercury and Venus orbit the sun faster than Earth. Mercury has the shortest orbit at around 88 Earth days, while Venus takes about 225 Earth days to complete one orbit.


Do Jovian planets rotate faster than Terrestrial planets?

Yes, Jovian planets rotate faster than terrestrial planets. For example, Jupiter completes a rotation in about 10 hours, while Earth takes roughly 24 hours. This difference is mainly due to the Jovian planets having a greater amount of mass and their composition, which affects their rotation speeds.


What percent of the planets are bigger than Earth?

There are 8 planets Mercury (smaller than Earth) Venus (smaller than Earth) Earth Mars (smaller than Earth) Jupiter (bigger than Earth) Saturn (bigger than Earth) Uranus (bigger than Earth) Neptune (bigger than Earth) so 3 smaller & 4 bigger than Earth 37.5% smaller than Earth 50% bigger than Earth

How do the periods of rotation and revolution for the gas giants differ from those on Earth?

This is a hard question...but the answer is:the gas giants are further away,so the the sun has less gravity power on the gas planets,so the revolution is slower than the inner planets (including Earth). However, the rotation period is faster than Earth. Jupiter's is 9h 55m, Saturn's is 10h 38m, Uranus' is 17h 14m, and Neptune's is 16h 6m.

Are all the planets longer than earth's?

Not sure I get what you're asking, but if you mean the length of the year, then no. Venus and Mercury travel around the sun faster than the earth.

Why does mars orbits faster than than the other planet?

This is false. Mercury is the "fastest" planet, with Venus and Earth next. IN fact, the orbital speed of any planet is inversely related to the distance from the Sun; close-in planets orbit faster than farther-out planets.
