Orbiting faster than any planet in our Solar System, Mercury goes around the Sun about every 88 Earth days. it is also the smallest planet, and the closest to the Sun. Mercury has no known satellites.
Venus orbits the Sun about every 224.7 Earth days. It is the second-closest planet to the Sun, and also has no known satellites.
Both Mercury and Venus travel faster in their orbits than Earth does.

No. The length of a planet's year is determined by its distance from its sun. In our solar system all of the Jovian planets orbit farther from the sun than the terrestrial ones and therefore have longer years.
Yes, some faster than others. In fact, virtually all spacial bodies rotate.
The outer planets all rotate faster than the inner planets. Each of them has a rotational period shorter than an Earth day. All of the inner planets have rotational periods longer than one Earth day. The outer planets are mostly made up of hydrogen, helim, and ice, and they are much larger than the inner planets which are mostly iron and various types of rock.
What if anything would happen to the shape of the earth if it were to rotate on its axis faster than it does todayWell ladies and gentlemen

The Earth moves faster than the planets that are farther from the Sun.
The are two reasons:They rotate faster than Earth, producing a stronger Coriolis force.They have no ground to create friction.
Any planets that are nearer to the sun than the earth is. The two known ones are Mercury and Venus.

Some planets rotate faster or than others. Also the planets take different times to orbit the Sun.
