Answer:

The closer a planet is to the sun, the shorter its period of revolution. The farther away a planet is from the sun, the longer its period of revolution. so it depends on how close and how far it is to have a different time period. so if the if it is close then the period of revolution will be shorter because they need more space to have a longer period. if it is spaced out then it will have a longer period because they do have space.
