Rotation means the planet spinning about it axis. (Orbit the the path of the planet round the Sun).
The planet Mercury has a rotational period of 58.646 Earth days.
The planet Venus has a (retrograde) rotational period of 243.0185 Earth days.
The planet Mars has a rotational period of 1.025957 Earth days.
The planet Jupiter has a rotational period of 9.925 hours.
Obviously Earth has a rotational period of 1 Earth Day.
jupiter has the fastest rotating body in the solar system!
Jupiter has the fastest rotation of all the gaseous planets. It completes a full rotation on its axis in less than 10 hours, making it the fastest spinning planet in our solar system.
The planet with the fastest rotation is Jupiter, at 9 hours, 50 minutes, and 30 seconds per day.
The smallest planet, Mercury, has a period of rotation of about 59 Earth days. Its slow rotation speed means that a day on Mercury (from one sunrise to the next) is much longer compared to a day on Earth.
A planet completes one rotation on its axis every day, causing day and night cycles.

Jupiter is the planet that rotates the fastest. It completes one rotation on its axis every 9.9 hours, and is also the biggest.
No, Jupiter has the fastest rotation and Mercury has the fastest orbit.
The revolution period for the planet Jupiter is 11.86 years. It completes its rotation within 9.8 hours compared to Earth's 24 hours.
jupiter has the fastest rotating body in the solar system!
Yes it does, along with Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune.
True, Jupiter rotates on it's axis once every 10 hours.
Mercury. As it is closest to the sun, it completes the fastest orbital rotation, in just 88 days.
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.
Jupiter has the fastest rotation of all the gaseous planets. It completes a full rotation on its axis in less than 10 hours, making it the fastest spinning planet in our solar system.
The planet with the fastest rotation is Jupiter, at 9 hours, 50 minutes, and 30 seconds per day.
The smallest planet, Mercury, has a period of rotation of about 59 Earth days. Its slow rotation speed means that a day on Mercury (from one sunrise to the next) is much longer compared to a day on Earth.
