No, some do but Uranis is tilted almost 90 degrees (so is lieing on its side),
and Venus ... with a slow rotation in the opposite direction.
Spin is the result of random collisions, not some orderly process.

Do the other planets spin?
All the planets that we know about spin, yes. Some spin faster or slower, or on a different axis, but they all spin.
What is the name for the movement of the planets as they spin on their axis?
It is called rotation.
What word means to orbit in the opposite direction to the norm for planets?
The normal orbit of planets and moons is in the same direction as the spin of the parent body. The particular norm in our solar system is counter-clockwise. Planets or moons that orbit in the reverse direction (clockwise) are termed retrograde. Confusingly, the same term (retrograde rotation) is used to mean clockwise spin or rotation.
Does Venus spin from west to east on its axis?
NO, it doesn't. it spins from east to west.It spins in the opposite direction. Most planets (and other bodies) in this galaxy spin clockwise. Venus spins counter-clockwise.
What direction does Venus spin on its axis?
Venus rotates clockwise, when viewed from above the Earth's North Pole.
Why do all planets spin the same direction?
They don't. Uranus spins on a "sideways" axis with retrograde spin. Venus also has a retrograde spin. Most spin in the same direction though. This is probably because of how the Solar System was formed, from a spinning disc of material.
Does the Earth spin on its axis in the same or opposite direction as the moons orbit?
The direction of the Earth's spin and the direction of the Moon's orbit is the same - counterclockwise
How does Venus rotate on its axis?
It has a retrograde spin, spinning in the opposite direction to most other planets.
What is the planets spin on its axis?
rotation
Do the other planets spin?
All the planets that we know about spin, yes. Some spin faster or slower, or on a different axis, but they all spin.
Why does the sun spin on it's own axis?
Because It Has To Spin Like Planets Do
A spinning planet rotates in what direction?
Most of the planets in our solar system spin anticlockwise (counterclockwise) when viewed from above the north pole, but Uranus and Venus are exceptions - they spin clockwise on their axis.
How is the rotation of Uranus ulike that of most of the outer planet?
If you look at the entire solar system, all the planets, except Uranus, rotate in the same direction. If you call north up, then all planets rotate on that axis except for Uranus. Uranus spins on it's side in this model. While all the other planets spin on the North/South axis, Uranus spins on the East/West axis.
What occurs when the planets spin around on their axis?
They have daylight and night.
What is the name for the movement of the planets as they spin on their axis?
It is called rotation.
