The revolution periods (orbital periods) of the planets in our solar system vary significantly based on their distance from the Sun. Here are the approximate revolution periods for each planet:

  1. Mercury: Mercury has the shortest revolution period in our solar system, taking about 88 Earth days to complete one orbit around the Sun.

  2. Venus: Venus takes approximately 225 Earth days to complete one revolution around the Sun.

  3. Earth: Earth, our home planet, takes about 365.25 days (or roughly one year) to complete a revolution around the Sun.

  4. Mars: Mars has a revolution period of approximately 687 Earth days (or about 1.88 Earth years).

  5. Jupiter: Jupiter, being the largest planet in our solar system, has a longer revolution period. It takes about 11.9 Earth years to complete one orbit around the Sun.

  6. Saturn: Saturn takes approximately 29.5 Earth years to complete a revolution around the Sun.

  7. Uranus: Uranus has a revolution period of roughly 84 Earth years.

  8. Neptune: Neptune takes about 164.8 Earth years to complete one orbit around the Sun.

  9. Pluto (formerly classified as the ninth planet): Pluto, which is now classified as a dwarf planet, has the longest revolution period among the recognized planets. It takes approximately 248 Earth years to complete one orbit around the Sun.

These figures are approximations based on average values and can vary slightly depending on the planets' positions in their elliptical orbits and the reference point used for measurement.
