  • Planetary Rotation Times: A Solar System Comparison
    Here's a table showing the rotation periods of the planets in our solar system, from shortest to longest:

    | Planet | Rotation Period (hours) |

    |----------------|--------------------------|

    | Jupiter | 9.93 |

    | Saturn | 10.7 |

    | Neptune | 16.11 |

    | Uranus | 17.24 |

    | Earth | 23.93 |

    | Mars | 24.62 |

    | Venus | -243.02 |

    | Mercury | 1407.5 |

    Important Notes:

    * Venus's rotation is retrograde: This means it spins in the opposite direction compared to most other planets.

    * Mercury's rotation is very slow: This is why it takes so long for Mercury to complete one rotation.
