Yes, a planet's spin one time on its axis is defined as that planet's day; 24 hours in the case of our Earth. In astronomical circles this is referred to as rotation, distinct from revolution which is applied to the time it takes for the planet to orbit around the Sun, which is that planet's year.

How long does it take to rotate in a day?
On the planet Venus, it takes 5,832 hours to complete a full rotation on the axis
How does a planet create day and night?
During its rotation around its own axis half of the planet faces the sun [day] and half faces away from the sun [night] As the planet continues to turn so night slowly turns into day and then day into night and so on.
The spin of a planet or moon as seen from above a planets pole is called its?
A planet's rotation on its axis determines the length of its day.
How does planet move in their axis?
A planet rotates (spins) about its own axis, giving rise to its day. Earth's day is about 24 hours. This motion is distinct from the orbital motion (revolution about the Sun) which is the planet's year.
Does the outer core spin?
When Earth's core spins, the planet turns on its axis and completes its rotation. One complete rotation is one day and night.
One complete turn of a planet on its axis is what?
A day.
What is one complete turn of a planet on its axis(one day)?
A day.
What is one complete turn of a planet one its axis?
A day.
The time required for a planet to complete one turn on its axis is called a?
day
The time required for a planet to complete one turn its axis is called?
It's called - a "Day"
Do all planets turn?
All planets turn on their axis. This is called the planet's rotation; one complete rotation is equal to one day on that planet.
What is it called when a planet complete spin on its axis?
A day.
What planet requires 59-60 earth day to complete one rotation on its axis?
Mercury
What do you call the period of time does it take for a planet to turn on its own axis?
Rotational period or day
How does it takes to rotate in a day?
On the planet Venus, it takes 5,832 hours to complete a full rotation on the axis
How long does it take to rotate in a day?
On the planet Venus, it takes 5,832 hours to complete a full rotation on the axis
How long does it take to make a complete turn on it's axis?
One day, or 24 hours.
