planets don't rotates simultaneously their inner and outer surfaces..some planets rotate outer surfaces faster than their inner surfaces..or vice versa..the reason of that is ,,every planet are huge groups of non single chunks of rocks...meaning,,planets are made of many pieces of huge rocks..if the forces of the rotation will come from the inner surface..the outer surface will follow slowly rotating in same direction..the boundary created inside the outer and inner surfaces will become so hot and melted the grind rocks into a lava..lava that become volcanoes when reaches the outer surface.

Edit : I don't agree with much of that. However different rotation times are
possible when a planet contains fluids.
It rotates. For planets and other large bodies in our solar system it causes day and night phases as points on the surface come into the light then back into the shadow.
Simply by looking at the planet itself. If it's spinning, then it rotates.
The Jovian planets are gas giants and have no surface.
The sun rotates on its own axis, just like the planets do. Its rotation period varies at different latitudes, with the equator rotating faster than the poles. This spinning motion contributes to the sun's magnetic field and various phenomena on its surface.
We know the Sun rotates because we can observe stationary sun spots moving across its surface.
Precipitatio
Jovian Planets do not have a solid surface to stand on.
Meteors can only be found within the atmospheres of planets. If they are on the outside the atmosphere they are called Meteroids. And if they have already penetrated the surface of a planet they are called Meteorites.
Of all the planets the surface of Mars is closest to being like Earth.
It moves around the sun in the same direction as the other planets (counterclockwise when viewed from above). It rotates the same way earth does, from west to east (on the surface, the sun would rise in the east and set in the west).
Any planet that rotates on its axis will experience day and night as the surface rotates away from the Sun.
Because the Earth rotates.
