A meteor is a chunk of something burning up in the Earth's atmosphere. It's kind of pointless to wonder about their rotation, because they only exist for a couple of seconds anyway.
If you meant an asteroid ... it depends on the asteroid. 1 Ceres, for example, rotates in about 9 hours; 2 Pallas in a bit under 8 hours; 3 Juno in about 7 hours 12 minutes, 4 Vesta in about 5 hours 20 minutes, and so on. You shouldn't think they're all fast (compared to Earth) either; 10 Hygeia's rotation period is longer than Earth's by over three and a half hours.

How often does shooting stars occur?
meteors may be seen every night, preferably just before dawn, when their apparent velocity will be greater because of the rotation of the Earth. Thousands each night.

Meteors are not that important, meteorites might be.
Are meteors extinct?
No. New meteors arrive every day.
How long does it take for a rotation?

Will retrograde rotation of a meteor impact earth?
Not really; meteors are so insignificant, compared to the mass of the Earth, that it makes precisely zero difference whether the meteor strikes the Earth going with or going against the Earth's rotation. Even a dinosaur killer that would devastate the biosphere isn't going to affect the Earth's rotation.
What is the Medical term for the twisting of intestines in horses?
Depending on the axis of rotation, it would be either a vovulus (rotation on the long axis) or a torsion (rotation perpendicular to the long axis).
What are comets and meteors made of?
Comets and meteors are made of rocks and boulders same as on earth. But since they are in space for a long time, they might have some differences, little differences.

25 days for a rotation at the equator, 34 days for a rotation near the poles.
How long is the rotation period on venus?
Rotation (Retrograde) 243 Days, 0.5 Hours

Why do astronomers see more meteors from midnight to dawn than from evening to midnight?
Astronomers see more meteors from midnight to dawn because that's the time when the Earth is rotating into the direction of its orbit around the sun. This means that more meteoroids are likely to collide with our atmosphere in that part of our planet's rotation.
