Q. Which planet has the Fastest revolution in Solar System
  1. Jupiter
  2. Mercury
  3. Pluto
  4. Venus
Answer: Mercury

Mercury is the smallest and innermost planet in the Solar System. Its orbital period around the Sun of 87.97 days is the shortest of all the planets in the Solar System. It is named after the Roman deity Mercury, the messenger of the gods.

Pluto (minor planet designation: 134340 Pluto) is a dwarf planet in the Kuiper belt, a ring of bodies beyond Neptune. It was the first Kuiper belt object to be discovered.
Pluto was discovered by Clyde Tombaugh in 1930 and was originally considered to be the ninth planet from the Sun. After 1992, its status as a planet was questioned following the discovery of several objects of similar size in the Kuiper belt. In 2005, Eris, a dwarf planet in the scattered disc which is 27% more massive than Pluto, was discovered. This led the International Astronomical Union (IAU) to define the term "planet" formally in 2006, during their 26th General Assembly. That definition excluded Pluto and reclassified it as a dwarf planet.

Which planet takes the longest time to make one revolution around the sun?

Since Neptune is further from the sun than Earth, it takes this planet a much longer time to orbit completely around the sun. Neptune takes 164 earth years to orbit the sun .60,189 earth days and 1979 earth months to orbit the sun. It takes Neptune around 17,000,000,000 miles to travel one complete orbit.

Which planet takes minimum time for one revolution around the sun?

Mercury is the planet with the shortest period of revolution of approximately 88Earth days. However, Mercury's period of rotation is about 59 Earth days. A planet's period of revolution is the time it takes for one complete spin around the sun.
