Due to centrifugal forces from the spinning, the planet becomes a bit flatter at the poles and wider around equator.
For Earth, the diameter at equator is about 0.5% larger than the diameter through the poles, so the effect is not very big.
The spin of the Earth is the cause of the cycle of daylight and darkness,
and of the rotation of weather systems.
The rotation of the Earth also slow down the Moon's orbital period, causing at the long term significant perturbations in the orbit of the Moon, leading to a larger major axis orbit around the Earth.
Please note this is feedback process, the Earth and Moon's motions are therefore quite complex.
All planets rotate on their axis and also revolves around the Sun, if that's what you mean.
Yes its why jupiter has its orange cloudsare spinning so fast they become swirling bands
It is called planetary rotation.
Orbit
A planet axis is described as any other axis just with a planet spinning around it.
Gravity causes a spinning planet to stay more or less round, assuming it became that way when it was still molten or is a gas planet. However, centrifugal force can oppose the gravitational force, causing a planet to bulge out at its equator and flatten slightly at the poles.
A planet spinning on it's axis is called rotation
jupiter is the fastest spinning planet in our solar system.
"Rotation" is the spinning of a planet on its axis.

The orbital speed of a planet is the time it takes to cycle around the sun. The spinning speed of a planet is the time it takes for the planet to rotate on it's axis.
