What planets have the shortest revolution period?

What planets have the shortest revolution period?

Mercury has the shortest period of revolution (about 88 days), and Pluto has the longest (about 248 years).

Which planet has longest period of revolution?

Neptune has the longest period of revolution (164 years) around the sun.

What planet has a shorter revolution than Earth?

One rotation of Venus on its axis takes 243 days, which makes it is the slowest rotating planet in our Solar System. Mercury is the planet with the shortest period of revolution of approximately 88 Earth days.

Which planets has the fastest revolution?

Jupiter is the fastest spinning planet in our Solar System rotating on average once in just under 10 hours. That is very fast especially considering how large Jupiter is.

Which planet takes the fastest revolution?

Answer: Mercury is the winner at an orbital speed of about 47.87 km/s (107,082 miles per hour), which is a period of about 87.97 Earth days.

Which planet has the shortest period of revolution and why?

The closer a planet is to the Sun, the faster it travels. Since Mercury is the fastest planet and has the shortest distance to travel around the Sun, it has the shortest year of all the planets in our solar system – 88 days.

Is Jupiter’s period of revolution shorter than Earth’s?

Average distance from Sun	482,300,000 miles
Length of Day	9.925 Earth hours
Sidereal Revolution	11.87 Earth years

Does Venus have a shorter revolution than Earth?

Long Days, Short Years Venus rotates very slowly on its axis – one day on Venus lasts 243 Earth days. The planet orbits the Sun faster than Earth, however, so one year on Venus takes only about 225 Earth days, making a Venusian day longer than its year!

Which planets revolution is less than rotation?

The period of rotation of Venus on its own axis is about 243 Earth days, while the period of revolution of Venus around the Sun is about 225 Earth days.

Which planets have a shorter revolution period inner or outer?

The four inner planets have shorter orbits, slower spin, no rings, and they are made of rock and metal. The four outer planets have longer orbits and spins, a composition of gases and liquids, numerous moons, and rings. The outer planets are made of hydrogen and helium, so they are called gas giants.

Does Jupiter have a shorter period of revolution?

Orbit and Rotation Jupiter has the shortest day in the solar system. One day on Jupiter takes only about 10 hours (the time it takes for Jupiter to rotate or spin around once), and Jupiter makes a complete orbit around the Sun (a year in Jovian time) in about 12 Earth years (4,333 Earth days).
