Our moon takes 27.32 days to revolve once around the Earth,

27.32 days to rotate once on its axis, and 29.53 days to display

a full cycle of 'phases'. The "Full Moon" is one so-called phase,

that technically occupies only a single moment in time, although

the moon looks practially full for a day or two before and after.

What is Saturn27s revolution or rotation time?

Saturn's revolution time, the time it takes to orbit around the sun, is about 29.5 Earth years. Saturn's rotation time, its day length, is about 10.7 hours, making it one of the fastest rotating planets in our solar system.


What is the difference between a planet's period of rotation and period of revolution?

All planets in our solar system vary in the time it takes them to complete a revolution. This is due to their differing distances from the sun. As far as rotation goes, the time varies from nine hours and fifty minutes for Jupiter to 244 days for Venus to make a like rotation.


What are the similarities between rotation and revolution?

well the difference is rotation is around an axis in the center of a body. revolution is the movement of a body around an axis outside of the body ( earth is the body then the sun is the axis.


How long is he moons rotation?

The Moon's rotation period is about 27.3 days, which is the same amount of time it takes to orbit the Earth. This synchronous rotation means that the same side of the Moon always faces the Earth. Consequently, it takes approximately 29.5 days for the Moon to go through its phases, a period known as a lunar month, due to the Earth’s movement around the Sun.


What is Mercury's period of rotation and revolution?

Mercury's period of rotation, or the time it takes to complete one full rotation on its axis, is 58.6 Earth days. Its period of revolution, or the time it takes to orbit the Sun, is about 88 Earth days. This means that one day on Mercury (rotation) is longer than one year on Mercury (revolution).

When periods of the moons rotation and revolution are equal what is it called?

It is called synchronous rotation when the rotation and orbit take the same amount of time.
