The distance between an orbiting body and the body it's orbiting and the time it takes to complete each orbit are related, so the farther a body is from the sun, the longer its period of revolution will be. Kepler's third law of planetary motion states that the square of the orbital period is proportional to the cube of the orbit's semi-major axis. If you cube the average of the closest and farthest distances between a planet and the sun then divide by the square of the planet's orbital period, you should always get about 25 quintillion cubic kilometers per square day.
Therefore, the gas giant with the shortest period of revolution is the one that is closest to the sun, Jupiter.

What gas giant has the shortest revolution?
Jupiter. its revolution is 11.86 years
What planet has the longest period of rotation?
Nereid has a long orbital period, but there are others with longer periods, for example Phoebe, a moon of Saturn.If you count all the moons, including the really small ones, the answer is "Neso"the outermost moon of Neptune. That has an orbital period of over 25 Earth years.
What is the outer planet that is not a gas giant?
Neptune is the outer planet that is not a gas giant. It is classified as an ice giant due to its composition, which includes a significant amount of water, ammonia, and methane ices in addition to hydrogen and helium.
What planet's moon takes the longest time to orbit its planet?
Neptune is the gas giant furthest from the Sun and Kepler's third law tells us that the period of revolution of a planet around the sun increases as distance from the Sun increases. It does not matter if the planet is a gas giant or not. The law says period depends on distance and not mass.It takes 60,190 days for Neptune to orbit the Sun which is about165 Earth years. For that matter, one Neptune Year is 89,666 Neptune days.If Pluto was still a planet, it would get the record for the longest year since it is, on the average, further than the other planets.Pluto has an orbital period of 248 earth years. Since Pluto was discovered in 1930, it has only completed about 1/3 of a revolution.Neptune
What is the name of the giant planet with rings?
Saturn is the best-known giant planet with rings.
What planet is short?
The Period of revolution decribes the time taken for an object to orbit another or the orbital period. For the Gas giant planets, this is the closest of the four - Jupiter. the closer a planet is to the sun (or any orbiting object is to another), the shorter the period of revolution. Jupiters period of revolution about the sun is 11 years and 314 days. The rotation period is the time it takes a planet to spin once on its axis, rotating about its axis. This has no relationship to the planet to sun distance, although again it is Jupiter at 9h 55 mins to make one turn. This is the quickest out of all eight planets.
What gas giant has the shortest revolution?
Jupiter. its revolution is 11.86 years
What gas giant has the longest revolutions?
The gas giant that has the longest revolution is the planet Neptune.

Is Saturn a molten giant planet or a gas giant planet?
Saturn is a gas giant planet, meaning it is primarily composed of hydrogen and helium with a small rocky core at its center. It does not have a molten surface or significant internal heat source like a molten giant planet.
Is Jupiter a giant or small planet?

Is Neptune a giant a small planet?
It is a giant.
Is Jupiter considered to be a gas giant or terrestrial planet?
Jupiter is a gas giant planet.
Is Saturn giant or small?
It is giant. If it was small, it would be a dwarf planet instead of a planet.
