Why outer planets rotates faster than inner planets?

They don't... An inner planet such as Mercury has an orbital speed of 107,00 MPH when compared to the outer most "planet" Pluto which rotates at 10,500 MPH. The gravitational restraints of the sun is greater on the inner planets than the outer allowing them to rotate faster without flying off into space. It's simple physics, the concepts of Centrifugal Force.
