It is accepted that most the planets in the Solar System have or had,rotation period of about ____hours.

A	24
B	8
C	12
D	10

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Earth takes 24 hours to complete one spin, and Mars takes 25 hours. The gas giants rotate really fast. Jupiter takes just 10 hours to complete one rotation. Saturn takes 11 hours, Uranus takes 17 hours, and Neptune takes 16 hours.

Detailed explanation-2: -It was already known that Venus has the longest day-the time the planet takes for a single rotation on its axis-of any planet in our solar system, though there were discrepancies among previous estimates.

Detailed explanation-3: -Neptune has the longest period of revolution (164 years) around the sun. Q.

Detailed explanation-4: -The period of revolution increases as the distance of the planet increases from the sun. So Neptune has the longest period of revolution.

Detailed explanation-5: -The most widely accepted model of planetary formation is known as the nebular hypothesis. This model posits that, 4.6 billion years ago, the Solar System was formed by the gravitational collapse of a giant molecular cloud spanning several light-years.
