Explanation : The time taken to complete one revolution around the sun by planets is called the period of revolution. It depends on the distance from the sun. More the distance from the Sun, more will be the time taken to complete one revolution. Mercury and Venus are nearer to the sun than the Earth. so, their periods of revolution are lesser than that of the Earth. Their periods of rotation are more than the Earth. ValueS of periods taken by the planet to revolve and rotate are independent of each other.
