Mercury is the fastest revolving planet. The speed of a particular planet depends on its revolution around the sun as well as its rotation on its own axis. The fastest planet of the solar system with reference to revolution is Mercury. On the other hand, the fastest planet with reference to rotation is Jupiter.

Why does the planet Uranus matter?

I wouldn't say the planet Uranus matters, but it does in some ways, for it is a planet made out of gas and may have an impact on the gravity of Earth revolving around the sun, for Uranus is larger than Earth and will have a slight pull of gravity on it slightly shifting it's revolving around the sun.

What is the fastest spinning planet?

I think the question meant to ask "fastest rotating", not fastest "revolving".The fastest rotating plant in the Solar System is Jupiter, at 9 hours 50 minutes for each rotation. Since it is also the largest planet, at an equatorial diameter of 142,800 kilometers, that means that its equatorial velocity is 91,000 kilometers per hour, or about 57,000 miles per hour.
