Which planet has the shortest day? (HINT:Period of Rotation)
A
Jupiter
B
Saturn
C
Uranus
D
Neptune
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Jupiter is the fastest spinning planet in our Solar System. Its period of rotation is just 10 hours. This means that Jupiter has the shortest day amongst all the planets in our Solar System.

Detailed explanation-2: -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).

Detailed explanation-3: -Like the rest of the gas giants, Jupiter has a ring, albeit small and flat. Its rotation is the fastest of all solar system planets, rotating once on its axis every 10 hours.

Detailed explanation-4: -The planet with the shortest orbital period (year) is Mercury. The innermost planet in our Solar System completes its eliptical orbit around the Sun once every 87 (Earth) days 21 hours.

Detailed explanation-5: -Also listen on Spotify! Mercury. 1.408 hours = 58 days and 16 Earth hours. Venus. 5.832 hours = 243 Earth days. Mars. 25 hours = 1 Earth day and XNUMX hour. Jupiter. 10 earth hours. Saturn. 11 Earth hours. Uranus. 17 Earth hours. Neptune. 16 Earth hours.
