I imagine it would be faster, as Mercury & Venus spin slower than Earth, and Jupiter & Saturn spin faster. It seems that planets that are closer to the Sun spin slower than Earth, and planets far away from the Sun spin faster than Earth.
I checked the NASA website. I couldn't find the question on there, but here it is anyway.

NO, Uranus spins faster than earth. It seems, the spin speed of Uranus is 8.3 (almost) times greater than that of the earth.

∙ 13y agoNo, because it is further from the Sun, and lets not forget - angular momentum equals mass times velocity times distance from Sun. They are similar in mass, and Neptune is farther (about 11 AU!) so Uranus orbits the Sun faster.

What type of orbit does Uranus have?
uranus has an elliptical orbit, as do all the planets. interesting fact, due to it's long narrow orbit, Pluto is sometimes closer to the sun than neptune.
Which planet lies between Pluto and Uranus?
Neptune is the planet that typically lies between Pluto and Uranus. However, during some parts of it's orbit, Pluto will be closer to the sun than Neptune is (i.e. Neptune is no longer between Uranus and Pluto; instead, Pluto is between Uranus and Neptune).In fact, as of February 11th, 1999, Pluto passed Neptune, thereby making Neptune the furthest planet from the Sun. Neptune will continue to be the further than Pluto until April 5th, 2231.
Why was the discovery of Neptune a major confirmation of Newton's law of gravitaion?
There were anomalies in Uranus' orbit that astronomers thought could be evidence of another planet pulling it out of orbit. This theory was later confirmed. It supports the law of gravitation because of Neptune's exertion of a force on Uranus that caused it to have a different orbit than predicted.
Is Pluto or Neptune closer to Earth?
Neptune is closer to the sun but because of Pluto's elliptical orbit, Neptune is farther away form the sun for 20 years. Neptune is closer to the sun but because of Pluto's elliptical orbit, Neptune is farther away form the sun for 20 years.
What Uranus and Neptune don't have in common?
Uranus is facing sideways and is a bit warmer than Neptune

Which is bigger Neptune or Jupiter?
Uranus is a little bit bigger if you measure it with Neptune, but even though Uranus is bigger- Neptune is actually heavier if you measure their weight. Which means even if Uranus is bigger, Neptune is heavier.
Which of planets takes a longer time than Uranus to revolve around the Sun?
Neptune is the only planet that takes longer than Uranus to orbit the Sun.
Which planet lies between Pluto and Uranus?
Neptune is the planet that typically lies between Pluto and Uranus. However, during some parts of it's orbit, Pluto will be closer to the sun than Neptune is (i.e. Neptune is no longer between Uranus and Pluto; instead, Pluto is between Uranus and Neptune).In fact, as of February 11th, 1999, Pluto passed Neptune, thereby making Neptune the furthest planet from the Sun. Neptune will continue to be the further than Pluto until April 5th, 2231.
Which planets take more than a year to orbit the sun?
Mar, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
Is uranus the three largest or is it neptune?
Uranus is bigger than Neptune

Can Uranus fit in Neptune?
I believe it can because Uranus is slightly smaller than Neptune.
Is Uranus closest to Neptune or Jupiter?
The planets are always moving as they orbit the sun, so this answer keeps changing. For example, when Uranus and Neptune are on the same side of the sun, and Jupiter is on the opposite side, then Uranus and Neptune would be closest. However, if Neptune were on the far side of the sun, then Uranus and Jupiter would be closest. When Uranus and Neptune are at their closest, they're separated by (rough numbers) about 9 AU. When Uranus and Jupiter are at their closest, they're separated by (again, roughly) 13 AU. However, while Uranus and Neptune can be closer together than Uranus and Jupiter can, they can also be further apart.
What Uranus and Neptune don't have in common?
Uranus is facing sideways and is a bit warmer than Neptune
Is Uranus darker than Neptune?
Uranus is very dark
