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.
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.
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.
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.
Two factors that affect a planets revolution are distance from the sun and size.
The inner planets, also known as terrestrial planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars), are smaller, rockier, and have solid surfaces. The outer planets, also called gas giants (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune), are larger, primarily made of gas, and have no solid surface. Both sets of planets orbit the Sun, but inner planets are closer to the Sun and have shorter orbital periods, while outer planets are farther away and have longer orbital periods.

because of the sun
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.
because each planet are different lengths away from the sun so if would then take longer periods of revolution around the sun
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.

The planets revolve around the sun. The moon revolves around Earth.
Their farther awat from the sun
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.
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.
they have different distances from the sun
