I don't believe we have rotation information about any planets outside the Solar System yet (orbital characteristics, yes; rotation, no). In the Solar System, Jupiter has the shortest rotational period at a little under 10 hours.

Is earth the revolving planet?

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.

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.

Where the speed of a planet is fastest when it is revolving around the sun in its orbit 1 nearest to the sun 2 farthest to the sun 3its away but coming towards the sun 4 at any intermediate position?

The speed of a planet is fastest when it is closest to the sun in its orbit (option 1) and slowest when it is farthest from the sun (option 2). This is because of the gravitational pull of the sun, which accelerates the planet as it gets closer and decelerates it as it moves away.

What is similar about a planet's rotation and a planet's revolution?

they are both about circular motions but rotation is on an axis and revolving isn't. also revolution is usually revolving around another object.
