The rotation period (time taken for the planet to rotate once on its axis relative to background stars) for each of the planets is
as follows (in units of Earth "solar days"):
Mercury = 58.646
Venus = -243.019
Earth = 0.997
Mars = 1.026
Jupiter = 0.410
Saturn = 0.426
Uranus = -0.718
Neptune = 0.671
These periods are called "sidereal days".
They are different from "solar days".
A "solar day" factors in the movement of the planet around the Sun during the planet's rotation.
The difference between the two day lengths is not significant for the planets beyond Mars.
Negative numbers for Venus and Uranus show that these planets spin in the opposite direction (retrograde) to the other planets.
Sidereal rotation periods, or time taken (in days) for the planets to spin on their axis relative to the background stars are as follows;
Mercury = 58.646Venus = -243.019Earth = 0.997Mars = 1.026Jupiter = 0.410Saturn = 0.426Uranus = -0.718Neptune = 0.671
note that the negative figure for Venus and Neptune show a spin in the opposite way (retrograde).
MERCURY ; 1407.6 Hours
VENUS ; 5832.5 Hours
EARTH ; 23.9 Hours
MARS ; 24.62 Hours
JUPITER ; 9.9 Hours
SATURN ; 10.7 Hours
URANUS ; 17.2 Hours
NEPTUNE ; 16.1 Hours
All planets turn on their axis. This is called the planet's rotation; one complete rotation is equal to one day on that planet.
All of them!
Oddly, Venus rotates from east to west, the opposite direction from most other planets and moons. This type of rotation is called retrograde rotation, from the Latin words for "moving backward".
A planets rotation is dependent on the total number and direction of ALL the hits that it has taken since it initially formed.
Saturn's year lasts 29.5 Earth years, however Saturn's day lasts only 10.6 Earth Hours. That is less than half of one Earth day.
Of all the planets in the solar system, Jupiter has the fastest rotation. The planet Jupiter makes a complete rotation every 9.9 hours.
The force that keeps all of our planets in rotation is gravity.
Each planets has a different length of time it takes to make a full rotation. The approximate lengths are: Mercury: 58 days, Venus: 243 days, Earth: 24 hours, Mars: 24 hours, Jupiter: 10 hours, Saturn: 11 hours, Uranus: 17 hours and Neptune: 16 hours.

its rotation is opposite of all the other planets.
All planets in our solar system vary in the time it takes them to complete a revolution. This is due to their differing distances from the sun. As far as rotation goes, the time varies from nine hours and fifty minutes for Jupiter to 244 days for Venus to make a like rotation.
Uranus and Venus are the two planets in our solar system that have a retrograde rotation. All of the planets orbit the Sun.
You can look up information on the individual planets on Wikipedia. I am not sure the information is readily available as a ready-made list, so you may have to compile it yourself. The revolution around the Sun is listed as "orbital period".
the sun holds the planets to getter by gravity and rotation
It takes 42.5 hours to revolve once.
