The revolution period of planets is a bit random but only the most massive planets have a gravity field strong enough for them to rotate quickly without flying apart. So the fastest rotator is also the biggest, Jupiter at 9 hr 55 m.
Comment : Assuming the questioner was using the word "revolution" correctly, this question is about the orbital periods of the planets. The answer then is: The nearer a planet is to the Sun the shorter its revolution period.
What else can I help you with?
Why do planets have different periods of revolution?
The planets are not all the same distance from the Sun, which determines how far they have to travel, and how fast they are moving. Planets farther from the Sun have much longer orbits and are not moving as quickly. So their period of revolution (year) is longer.
Does the distance of the planet from the sun affects its period of revolution?
Yes, the distance of a planet from the sun affects its period of revolution. According to Kepler's third law of planetary motion, planets that are closer to the sun have shorter revolution periods compared to planets that are farther away.
Which one of the following planets has equal periods of rotation and revolution?
well, it just so happens I've done research in this type of stuff in school, and i can remember, and tell you that the 2 planets that have the closest period of rotation are Jupiter and Saturn.
What two factors affect a planets revolution?
Two factors that affect a planets revolution are distance from the sun and size.
What are revolution times for outer planets?
The rotation periods are (in days) Jupiter: 0.41354 Saturn: 0.44401 Uranus: 0.71833 Neptune: 0.67125 Jupiter takes 11.8 yrs to complete one revolution. Saturn takes 29.5 yrs to complete one revolution. Uranus takes 84 yrs to complete one revolution. Neptune takes 164.8 yrs to complete one revolution.
Which planets have a short revolution period inner or outer?
Planets closer to the Sun, like Mercury and Venus, have shorter revolution periods because they have shorter distances to travel around the Sun. Outer planets, such as Neptune and Pluto, have longer revolution periods due to their larger orbits.
Which of these planets are considered to have a short revolution?
mercury
When moving from the outer planets to the inner planets what can be said about their periods of revolution?
As planets move from outer to inner planets, their periods of revolution decrease. This is because the inner planets are closer to the Sun, so they have shorter orbital paths and complete their revolutions more quickly. Outer planets, being farther from the Sun, take longer to complete their journeys around it.
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 giant Planets different From those 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
Why do inner planets have shorter revolution periods than the gas giants?
It doesn't matter that the gas giants are giant; what matters is their distance from the Sun. Inner planets have shorter revolution periods for two reasons: (1) they move faster; and (2) the total distance they have to travel is less.
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.
Why do planets differ in their length of revolution around the sun?
because each planet are different lengths away from the sun so if would then take longer periods of revolution around the sun
