A solar system spins due to the conservation of angular momentum from its formation. As a swirling cloud of gas and dust collapses under gravity, it begins to rotate, causing the material to flatten into a spinning disk. This rotation persists as the solar system forms, influencing the orbits and rotation of planets, moons, and other objects within it.
All of them. A few satellites are tidally locked to their primary (luna for example), but all the planets rotate.
spin; turn around an imaginary axis of rotation, like the one that includes Earth's geographical north and south poles
All planets do. The difference is that for gas giant planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune), the speed of the "surface spin" is often quite different from the rotation of the atmosphere, which will vary by latitude.
Yes, just about any object in the Solar System - or in space in general - spins. Some faster, some slower.

Planets in our solar system generally rotate in the same direction because they were formed from the same spinning disk of gas and dust. This spinning motion in the early solar system set the direction of rotation for the planets as they formed.

Hold left click and spin it in the direction you want the object.
Both Venus and Uranus have a "retrograde" axial spin. They rotate clockwise when viewed from a point high above Earth's north pole. All of the other planets rotate anticlockwise (counter clockwise).
You can make a Solar System Model spin by getting one of the spin things for a baby attach strings with planets on it then boom you have it spinning in no time.
The Earth rotates counterclockwise when viewed from above the North Pole. This rotation is a result of the planet's initial spin when it was formed billions of years ago. The rotation of the Earth causes day and night as different parts of the planet face the Sun.
All planets do. The difference is that for gas giant planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune), the speed of the "surface spin" is often quite different from the rotation of the atmosphere, which will vary by latitude.
All planets rotate, although Venus does so very slowly. The spin of the planets represents the momentum remaining from their formation (accretion) when the solar system formed. Saturn rotates much more quickly than the Earth, which has been slowed by the gravitational effect of the Moon.
