How long is rotation time for the planets?

Answer 1

Each planets has a different length of time it takes to make a full rotation. The approximate lengths are: Mercury: 58 days, Venus: 243 days, Earth: 24 hours, Mars: 24 hours, Jupiter: 10 hours, Saturn: 11 hours, Uranus: 17 hours and Neptune: 16 hours.

Answer 2

Sidereal rotation periods, or time taken (in days) for the planets to spin on their axis relative to the background stars are as follows;

Mercury = 58.646

Venus = -243.019

Earth = 0.997

Mars = 1.026

Jupiter = 0.410

Saturn = 0.426

Uranus = -0.718

Neptune = 0.671

note that the negative figure for Venus and Neptune show a spin in the opposite way (retrograde).

The axial rotation relative to the backgroud stars is different to the apparent day length, due to the orbit of the planets around the sun during that rotation.

Answer 3

Sidereal rotation periods, or time taken (in days) for the planets to spin on their axis relative to the background stars are as follows;

Mercury = 58.646

Venus = -243.019

Earth = 0.997

Mars = 1.026

Jupiter = 0.410

Saturn = 0.426

Uranus = -0.718

Neptune = 0.671

note that the negative figure for Venus and Neptune show a spin in the opposite way (retrograde).

The axial rotation relative to the backgroud stars is different to the apparent day length, due to the orbit of the planets around the sun during that rotation.

Answer 4

Sidereal rotation periods, or time taken (in days) for the planets to spin on their axis relative to the background stars are as follows;

• Mercury = 58.646
• Venus = -243.019
• Earth = 0.997
• Mars = 1.026
• Jupiter = 0.410
• Saturn = 0.426
• Uranus = -0.718
• Neptune = 0.671

Note that the negative figure for Venus and Uranus show a spin in the opposite way (retrograde).

The axial rotation relative to the background stars is different to the apparent day length, due to the orbit of the planets around the sun during that rotation.

Answer 5

As a planet rotates around its axis, the stars appear to move around a projection of the planet's axis into space. The time required for the stars to move once around their paths is called the sidereal period of rotation, or the rotation period of the planet.
While the planet rotates, it is also moving around the Sun. This changes the apparent position of the Sun among the stars, and as a result, it does not move around the sky in quite the same period of time that the stars do. Depending upon whether the rotation of the planet is direct (in the same direction as its orbital motion) or retrograde (in the opposite direction as its orbital motion), the time that the Sun takes to go once around the sky, which is called the synodic period of rotation, or the length of the day, may be longer or shorter than the sidereal period of rotation.
