I assume you're talking about in our own solar system.
Jupiter has the fastest rotation, at about 10 hours. Saturn is just behind it, at 10.5 hours.
Both these planets are not solid, so have differential rotation; those figures are at the equator.
Interestingly, all the giant planets take less time to rotate than Earth does. Mars has a rotation period that's almost equal to Earth's, Mercury rotates about once every two months, and Venus rotates about once every 8 months (and does so backward).

Is the planet mercury is the fastest planet to rotate?
No. The slowest orbiting planet is Neptune. The speed at which a planet orbits is closely tied with the size of its orbit; the larger the orbit, the slower the planet moves.
Is it true or false that Jupiter spins faster than any planet?
True. Jupiter has the fastest rotation rate of any planet in our solar system. It completes one rotation on its axis in about 9.9 hours, making it the fastest spinning planet.
What does a planet rotates on?
A planet rotates on its axis a point which travels through the north and the south of the planet. On earth the axis is found at the north and south pole of the earth.
What planet rotates faster than any other planet in the solar system?
Jupiter.
What planet rotates on its side as seen from earth?
neptune
Which planet rotates fastest on its axis?
jupiter
Which Fastest Planet?
Jupiter is the planet that rotates the fastest. It completes one rotation on its axis every 9.9 hours, and is also the biggest.
Which of the planet rotate faster?
Jupiter rotates fastest, in just under ten hours.
What a planet rotates on?
It rotates on its axis.
What planet revolves faster than any planet?
In our solar system Jupiter rotates on its axis the fastest. Mercury revolves around the sun in the shortest time
Why is mercury is considered as the fastest planet to revolve around the sun than it rotates on its own axis?
Because it is the closest to the sun
Is the planet mercury is the fastest planet to rotate?
No. The slowest orbiting planet is Neptune. The speed at which a planet orbits is closely tied with the size of its orbit; the larger the orbit, the slower the planet moves.
Which outer planet has a rectrograde rotation?
Uranus... interestingly, most of Uranus's atmosphere rotates faster than the interior; the planet's fastest winds blow portions of the atmosphere around the planet in only 14 hours.Uranus.
What is planet that rotates the fastest on its axis?
The planet with the fastest rotation is Jupiter, at 9 hours, 50 minutes, and 30 seconds per day.
Which planets have an axis besides earth?
Pretty much every planet has an axis, because an axis is what a planet rotates around. Any planet that rotates has an axis, and pretty much every planet known rotates.
What is the planet that rotates faster than any other planet in the solar system?
The planet is Jupiter. It rotates in just 10 hours.
What is the fastest rotating gas planet?
Jupiter rotates on its axis most rapidly out of all eight of the planets, 9h 55m 30s for one full spin.
