Stars don't spin, but they do move. While the Earth is rotating and revolving at the same time, the stars appear to move clockwise (from the northern hemisphere's point of view) and appear to move diagonally. On top of this, the stars are pure energy, which makes them move back and forth across the night sky. This makes the stars very confusing when monitoring them. so, in short, the stars themselves do not spin, but they do move.
Stars do rotate around their axis's, but much slower that planets. The sun for examplerotatesaround it's axis once every 26 days at it's equator. The sunactuallyrotates slower at is poles, taking 34 days to rotate once.

How often does Mars rotate?
The time it takes to make one spin on its axis relative to the background stars is 24h:37min:22.67sec.
How long does it take the planets to spin on their axis?
That depends on which solar system and planet you are asking about - we now know for planets orbiting other stars.
Why do pulsar stars spin?
A pulsar is nothing more than a neutron star but with a pole pointing towards Earth. See related questions.
What is a planet period of rotation?
The period of rotation is the time required for a planet to spin around once on its axis. For Earth it is about 23 hours and 56 minutes.
Why do stars seem to make a circle in the sky?
The stars, as seen from the Northern Hemisphere, appear to circle around Polaris, the North star. They seem to circle around the north pole because the Earth rotates, while the stars are still. As we spin around, stars move out of our view and new ones enter. When looking up to the North pole, it is possible to see stars appear to be slowly spinning around the North star. In the Southern Hemisphere there is no conveniently located star but the stars still seem to spin around a point in the sky. The Sun seems to circle the Earth but again, the Earth is rotating and the sun is still. It's actually Earth that is spinning.
What star does not spin?
All stars rotate (spin). Some spin faster than others, but all stars will rotate as without this rotation, the star will literally fall into space.
Why does theory predict that a neutron star should spin fast?
Observations show that neutron stars spin very rapidly.
Stars that spin rapidly and give off radio waves are called?
pulsar
How long does mars take to spin once?
The time it takes to make one spin on its axis relative to the background stars is 24h:37min:22.663sec
Why is a neutron star expected to spin rapidly?
All young neutron stars spin rapidly. You might be confused with a pulsar. See related questions.
How do stars in the galactic halo orbit?
They orbit as stars would in any other halo. It is gravity that causes everything to orbit and "spin around" Stars can also orbit around other stars called a binary orbit.
What objects spin in solar system?
Planets,stars and Asteroids, random rocks that roam the world!
How can you get free stars on Fantage?
You get get free stars by playing all the games around Fantage. And sometimes on special occasions, there will maybe be judges you click and they will give you about 5-10 stars. There is also a daily spin on the the side of your Fantage screen that you can spin once every day for free clothes, e-coins, boards, gems, and up to 1000 stars! Though, most of the time the spinner lands on the free 20 stars. There are lots of things!
What is the time for mars to spin once?
The sidereal rotation period of Mars - one spin on its axis relative to background stars, is 24.623 hours. This is very similar to the earths sidereal rotation period.
How do you make wario spin Mario on super Mario 64 ds multi-player?
you can only spin yoshies with wario. once you've hit a yoshi with wario, it will be stunned, and floating stars will appear on top of its head. get close to the yoshi and grab him with A. rotate the joystick to make it spin.
How often does Mars rotate?
The time it takes to make one spin on its axis relative to the background stars is 24h:37min:22.67sec.
Which character from Grey's Anatomy stars in the spin-off of Private Practice?
Addison Montgomery (played by Kate Walsh) Hope this helped :)
