Which of the inner planets have the shortest day?
Of the four inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars), Earth has the shortest day at 23 hours and 56 minutes sidereal rotation period. That's the "sidereal day". The day that lasts exactly 24 hours is called the "solar day". For both "days", Earth has the shortest day.
Which planet has the shortest nights?
Jupiter would have the shortest nights, at about 5 hours each. Jupiter's rotational period is just under 10 hours.
Which planet takes the longest to rotate?
Venus takes the longest to rotate on its axis, completing one rotation in about 243 Earth days. Interestingly, Venus rotates in the opposite direction to most planets, a phenomenon known as retrograde rotation.
What is the fastest revolving planet?
I don't believe we have rotation information about any planets outside the Solar System yet (orbital characteristics, yes; rotation, no). In the Solar System, Jupiter has the shortest rotational period at a little under 10 hours.
What is the difference between planets period of rotation and period of revolution?
The difference between the rotation and revoulution is that rotation is the spiinning of the planet on its axis and revoulution is the orbiting of the planet around the sun.
Which planet has the longest rotation period?
Pluto has the longest REVOLUTION period Venus has the longest ROTATION period

How long does it take for a planet to orbit the sun write the names of the plants in order from shortest to longest orbit time?
The time it takes for a planet to orbit the sun is known as its orbital period. The order of planets from shortest to longest orbital period is: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Mercury has the shortest orbital period of about 88 Earth days, while Neptune has the longest orbital period of about 165 Earth years.
What planet has the second shortest day?
Mercury has the 2nd longest "sidereal day" with a sidereal rotation period of 58.646 Earth days. The longest "sidereal day" day is Venus, with a sidereal rotation period of 243.018 Earth daysIf you use the "solar day" as your definition of "day", the order is reversed. Mercury then has the longest day and Venus has the second longest day.
What planets has the fastest period rotation?
Jupiter - it has the shortest day and the fastest roational speed
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.
Which planet has the shortest nights?
Jupiter would have the shortest nights, at about 5 hours each. Jupiter's rotational period is just under 10 hours.
When is longest and shortest day in 2010?
The longest period of daylight happens at the summer solstice. The shortest day occurs at the winter solstice.
Animal gestation periods-What are the shortest and the longest and lengths?
The shortest known gestation period is the Virginian opossum, which is 12 days. The longest period belongs to the Indian elephant, which has a gestation period of 22 months.
What is the longest and shortest day in 2008 45k?
The longest period of daylight happens at the summer solstice. The shortest day occurs at the winter solstice.
What is the Order the units or geologic time from the longest to the shortest?
The order of units of geologic time from longest to shortest is: eon, era, period, epoch.
Which planet takes the longest to rotate?
Venus takes the longest to rotate on its axis, completing one rotation in about 243 Earth days. Interestingly, Venus rotates in the opposite direction to most planets, a phenomenon known as retrograde rotation.
