Answer 2

Jupiter rotates the fastest of all the planets in our solar system, completing one rotation in about 10 hours. This rapid rotation gives Jupiter its distinct flattened shape at the poles and equatorial bulge.

Answer 3

A planet that is farther from the sun has a lower linear speed and takes longer to complete a revolution. Earth takes about 365.256 days to complete a revolution with respect to a distant "fixed" point, and its average speed with respect to the sun is about 29.78 km/s. Saturn takes about 10,759.22 Earth days to complete a revolution, and its average speed with respect to the sun is about 9.69 km/s.

Answer 4

The planets rotate at different speeds. Jupiter is the known fastest planet with a record of rotation being 0.41354 days.

Answer 5

Saturn orbits at a slower speed as it is further out. Planets closer to the sun will orbit in less time and move at a higher speed.

Answer 6

Saturn rotates much faster than earth.

Answer 7
