Gravity.

When the earth started to coagulate from a loose pile of asteroids, it gained little rotation. But it gained most of its rotational energy when a planet the size of mars hit it (Also forming the moon.) Other planets gain their spins from billlions of years of spinning around the sun (in theory)
