That must be Venus. I've heard that if you could watch the sun's apparent celestial path from Venus, it does some weird things. That's because of its unusual rotation. First of all, although Venus orbits the sun in the same direction as all the other planets in our solar system, its rotation is in the opposite direction. That's called a retrograde rotation. Also, the time it takes to complete one full rotation around its axis is a little over eight months. That's longer than it takes to orbit the sun!
Because the length of a solar day on Earth, the time it takes the sun to return to the same latitude, is a little longer than a stellar day, the time it takes Earth to complete one full rotation using a distant fixed star as a reference, I would expect a solar day on a planet with a retrograde rotation to be shorter than its rotation period. Sure enough, a solar day on Venus lasts less than four months.

What is one complete turn of a planet on its axis(one day)?
A day.
How often do rise of tides occur?
High tides occur twice each day. There is about 12 hours between each high tide as they are based on the lunar day and caused by the gravitational pull of the moon.
What movement of the planet makes one day as a unit of time?
It is the rotation of the planet one complete revolution that determines the length of a day.
What planet rotates on its axis in one day?
The Earth rotates on its axis in one day. Strictly speaking that's the "sidereal day" not the "solar day". Also, by definition, each planet rotates once in a period that's the "sidereal day" for that particular planet.
What is one complete turn of a planet one its axis?
A day.
What does an planet completes one of these everyday?
One rotation
