How do you get the ratio of earth's orbital period about the sun to the earth's period of rotation about its own axis?
The period of the earth's orbit around the sun is one year. The period of earth's orbit about its own axis is one day. If we estimate one year to be about 365 days, we simply get the ratio 365:1 as the ratio of the period of earth's orbit around the sun to that of earth's rotation about its own axis.

What is the ratio of the period of rotation between mercury and Neptune?
In the time it takes Mercury to complete one rotation, Neptune rotates 87.37 times.

Compare the period of revolution between mercury and neptune what is the ratio between their period rotation?
Mercury has a period of revolution around the Sun of about 88 Earth days, while Neptune takes about 165 Earth years to complete one orbit. To compare their periods of revolution, the ratio of Mercury's orbital period to Neptune's is approximately 1:1,965. This means Mercury completes its revolution much more quickly than Neptune, highlighting the vast differences in orbital dynamics within our solar system.
Compare the period of revolution between mercury and plutowhat is the ratio between their period of rotation and why?
Mercury's period of revolution around the sun is about 88 Earth days, while Pluto's period is approximately 248 Earth years. The ratio between their periods of revolution is about 1:28. This difference is due to the much larger distance Pluto is from the sun compared to Mercury, causing it to take much longer to complete one orbit.
What is the ratio between Mercury and earth?
The answer will depend on ratio of which characteristic. Each of the following will have a different ratio:radius, surface area, volume, mass, density, surface gravity, average distance from the Sun, perihelion, aphelion, orbital period, orbital eccentricity, rotational period, atmospheric pressure, albedo. And there are many more besides. Without some focus, this question is a complete waste of time.

How does a planet revolves on it's axis?
For the purposes of this question we will consider a planet as a solid body - which it pretty much is anyways. As a result of a planet's formation it is left with some rotational energy. This is merely a result of chaotic systems and it would be extremely difficult to have a body with exactly zero rotational energy. Since the planet is a solid body it has to turn uniformly- an as it turns uniformly there has to be an axis of rotation, a line through the body around which it turns. If a planet is a long ways away from it centre of orbit the tidal forces are negligable and there is no impediment to it rotation. All the planets Earth and beyond rotate with a period different from their period of orbit. Venus and Mercury are tidally locked with their solar orbital period in some resonance ratio. Earth's moon and most planetary moons are like-wise tidally locked with a period similar to their orbital period. It has been proposed that Uranus was hit by some massive object that alterned its axis of rotation to an extreme degree. If this is true the mass and energy of the object must have been considerable.
What is the minimum number of moons that must be orbiting a planet for the moons to have an orbital resonance?
For moons to have an orbital resonance, there must be at least two moons orbiting the planet. Orbital resonance occurs when the orbital periods of the moons are related by a ratio of two small integers, such as 1:2 or 2:3.
Who figured out that the orbital period of a planet is related to its distance from the sun?
Johannes Kepler, working with the detailed observational data compiled by Tycho Brahe, showed that the ratio of (orbital period)2 to (mean distance from the sun)3 is a constant for the earth and the five other visible planets. A generation after Kepler, Sir Isaac Newton showed that his law of universal gravitation could predict the shape and periods of the planetary orbits.
What are the orbital speeds of Jupiter's Galilean moons compared to earth's moon?
There are about 63 known moons of Jupiter but the Galilean moons are the 4 moons visible and Ganymede ,the largest found by Galileo Galilee in January 7 1610.The orbital speed of the Jovian moons vary where the Jupiter's magnetic field is very strong.Only a mean speed can be used for comparison.The four moons and their orbital speed compared to the orbital speed of Earth's moon are:Jovian Moons Orbital speed/ Orbital speed Ratio(km/s) (Earth's moon)1. Io orbital speed 2.75 km/sEarth's moon orbital speed 1.03 km/s Ratio 1: 2.672.Europa orbital speed 2.187 km/sEarth's moon orbital speed 1.03 km/s Ratio !: 2.123.

Why isn't mercury in synchronous rotation with respect to the Sun?
The Sun created a significant tidal bulge on Mercury when it was still a young, molten planet; when the planet solidified, this bulge was locked in place. Mercury is so close to the Sun that the Sun's gravitational force on Mercury's tidal bulges changed the planet's rotation rate. However, Mercury's highly eccentric orbit has prevented the planet from getting locked into synchronous rotation.
Will the thickness of the flap effect the rotation of the helicopter?
Rotation, no. Lift, yes. If you increase the surface area of the propeller, then you alter the lift to weight ratio.
