Use animations and films to calculate the rotation period of the Sun and of four planets in our solar system:
Hint: The Earth's rotation period is about 24 hours. All of the filming or animation hours listed above on the titles for each planet/dwarf planet are in Earth hours (the ones you know ;) EXCEPT Pluto...it has a film which lasts for 24 Earth DAYS, so be sure to convert to the same units you use for the other planets and the Sun, or it will not be possible to compare. If you figure out the rotation period in Earth hours for one solar system body, do so for all. If you figure out the rotation period in Earth days for one solar system body (planet, sun), then do so for all.
As Wikipedia notes:
The Earth rotates once in about 24 hours with respect to the sun and once every 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4 seconds with respect to the stars (see below). Earth's rotation is slowing slightly with time; thus, a day was shorter in the past.
