period of rotation = day (24 hrs. only for Earth) orbital period = year (not 365.25 days only for Earth)
Saturn's rotation period is about 10.7 hours, while its orbital period around the Sun is approximately 29.5 Earth years.
A geosynchronous satellite is a satellite in geosynchronous orbit, with an orbital period the same as the Earth's rotation period.
Halley's Comet has an orbital period around the sun of about 76 years. Its rotation period on its axis is not well known, but it is estimated to be roughly 2-3 days.
To find the number of revolution days of a planet, you can use the formula: revolution days = orbital period / rotation period. The orbital period is how long it takes for the planet to complete one orbit around the sun, while the rotation period is how long it takes for the planet to rotate on its axis. This formula will give you the number of days it takes for the planet to complete one full rotation around its 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.
The difference between the rotation and revoulution is that rotation is the spiinning of the planet on its axis and revoulution is the orbiting of the planet around the sun.

Mercury
Saturn's rotation period is about 10.7 hours, while its orbital period around the Sun is approximately 29.5 Earth years.
Same as it's orbital period, about 27.32 days.
Ceres has a rotation period of 0.3781 days, and an orbital period of 4.6 years.
A geosynchronous satellite is a satellite in geosynchronous orbit, with an orbital period the same as the Earth's rotation period.
The term rotation refers to the Earth turning on its axis once per day. The term revolution refers to the earth circling the sun once per year.
The earth's period of rotation is a few minutes short of 24 hours, whereas the moon's period of rotation is a bit over 27 days.
The moon's period of rotation on its axis is precisely synchronized with its period of orbital revolution around the earth. Both are 27.32 days.
Halley's Comet has an orbital period around the sun of about 76 years. Its rotation period on its axis is not well known, but it is estimated to be roughly 2-3 days.
