Rotation of the Planets:
As they move around the Sun, the planets rotate on themselves around an axis: they have a rotational movement.
The time it takes for a planet to complete a complete rotation around its axis is called its rotation period. The Earth's rotation period corresponds to one day on Earth.
The rotation period is different from planet to planet and it is not possible to establish a relationship between the distance of the planets from the Sun and their rotation period.
