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.
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).
Does the planet with the shortest revolution have the shortest rotation?
No, the rotation of a planet on it's axis, or it's spin is not really related to the time it takes to orbit or revolve around the sun. For example, Mercury and Venus are the closest planets to the sun, yet they take a long time to rotate on their axis.
How many differences between rotation and revolution?
Rotation is the spinning of an object on its axis, while revolution is the movement of an object around another object or point. The key difference is the axis of rotation: rotation occurs on an internal axis within the object itself, while revolution occurs around an external axis outside the object.
What units of time are based on a single rotation or revolution of the earth?
Rotation . . . . . the "Day" Revolution . . . . the "Year"
How is revolution and rotation measured in time?
because it does
What is the revolution and rotation time of earth?
Rotation: 23 hours and 56 minutes. Revolution: A year. About 365 1/4 days.
What is the period of revolution and rotation in earth time?
the moon
What is the difference between rotation and revolution with regard to the solar system?
Revolution is the time a planet takes to revolve around itself. Rotation is the time a planet takes to orbit the Sun.
How were time zones designed?
because of the earths rotation and revolution.
Which of Saturn27s moons is the biggest?
titan
What is meant by rotation and revolution of a planet?
The rotation of a planet refers to the planet spinning like a top; a "revolution" is the time required for the planet's orbit around the Sun.
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.
What is the time of revolution the planets?
The period of rotation for each of the planets is as follows - the sidereal rotation (rotation time against background stars); PlanetSidereal rotational periodMercury58.646225Venus-243.0187Earth0.99726957Mars1.02595675Jupiter0.41007Saturn0.426Uranus-0.71833Neptune0.67125
What is the Rotation and revolution orbit time of mars?
Rotation: approx 24.6 hoursRevolution: approx 687 earth days.
Is the path we travel around the sun a rotation or revolution?
The path we travel is an orbit. One complete time around that path is a revolution. Rotation is the act of turning on an axis.
