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.
Compare the rotational period of the inner and outer planets?
The inner planets, such as Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, have shorter rotational periods ranging from about 24 hours to a few days. In comparison, the outer planets, like Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, have longer rotational periods ranging from around 10 hours to a few days. This difference is mainly due to the size and mass distribution of the planets.
When periods of the moons rotation and revolution are equal what is it called?
It is called synchronous rotation when the rotation and orbit take the same amount of time.
Why do planets have shorter days than earth?
The length of a planets "day" is another way of saying the amount of time it takes a planet to rotate once on it's axis. Each planet does this in it's own good time. There are some basic principles behind it, but overall, there is no "one answer" we can pinpoint as to why planets rotate at different speeds. They simply do.
What planets have a more rapid rotation?
Earth, It take's earth only 1 year to fully rotate around the sun faster then all the other planets in our solar system
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 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.
How do the periods of rotation and revolution for the gas giant planets differ from those of earth?
It is so much greater because the planets are made out of gas and gas are inside a wind storm or should i say a wind cycle and that is my answer.
How do the periods of rotation and revolution for the gas giant Planets different From those earth?
because of the sun
How do the periods of rotation and revolution for the gas giant planets different from those of Earth?
because of the sun
How do the periods of rotation and revolution for the gas giants planets differ from those of earth?
Their farther awat from the sun
Are inner planets large or small?
The inner, or Terrestrial planets are very small in comparison to the outer, or Jovian planets. The smallest Jovian planet, Uranus, is 14.5 times larger than the largest Terrestrial planet, Earth.
What is the effect of the fast rotation of earth on its axis?
The earth spins faster than the planets Mercury and Venus, meaning that its apparent days are shorter (24 hours).
Which planet has a shorter rotation earth or mars?
earth
Do the inner or outer planets have the longest rotation period?
The outer planets have longer rotation periods than the inner planets. For example, a day on Jupiter, an outer planet, is about 10 hours long, while a day on Earth, an inner planet, is about 24 hours long.
Compare the rotational period of the inner and outer planets?
The inner planets, such as Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, have shorter rotational periods ranging from about 24 hours to a few days. In comparison, the outer planets, like Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, have longer rotational periods ranging from around 10 hours to a few days. This difference is mainly due to the size and mass distribution of the planets.
Why do planets have different day lenghts?
Planets have different day lengths due to variations in their rotation speeds and sizes. Planets closer to the Sun, like Mercury, have shorter day lengths because they rotate faster. Larger planets, such as Jupiter, have longer day lengths due to their slower rotation speeds.
How long are the rotation of the planets in earth days?
Here are the orbital periods of all eight planets in days. Mercury = 87.9691 Venus = 224.70069 Earth = 365.256363 Mars = 686.971 Jupiter = 4331.572 Saturn = 10759.22 Uranus = 30799.095 Neptune = 60190
