The planet of our solar system with the slowest rotation is Venus, which takes 243 Earth days to make one full rotation on its axis. Unlike the other planets, it spins in a retrograde direction, or east to west. One theory is that it was struck by another planet-sized object early in its formation and lost most of its spin momentum.
The combination of its 243-day spin and its 225-day "year" creates a solar day of about 116.75 days on Venus, with the Sun (if it were visible) rising in the west.

What planet spins most slowly?
venus because it takes 243 days to rotate than the others planet
What planet barely spins around its axis?
Mercury executes a complete, 360-degree rotation on its axis every 58.6 earth-days ... very roughly double the rotation period of earth's moon. We're unable to find a definition of 'barely' in our Glossary of Astronomical Terms.
The planet that is most tipped on it' orbital plane is?
The planet Uranus rotates on an axis that is tipped about 90 degrees to the ecliptic.
The planet that rotates the slowest?
Venus, it takes 243 Earth days to complete a single rotation. It also spins opposite most of the other planets in a retrograde motion (clockwise if you're staring down on it from the north pole). With as slowly as it spins usually it will complete a year in 224.7 Earth days before it spins a single time. This means that most places on Venus get sunlight for 116.75 Earth days. With the crushing atmosphere the light itself makes little difference though; even the night side has temperatures of over 800 degrees F.
What planet takes longer to rotate than revolve?
The planet that takes the longest to orbit the Sun is Neptune, because it is the farthest away. The order of the planets from the Sun is Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
Which planet takes most time to rotate on its axis?
Venus
Which planet takes 9 hours and 50 minutes to rotate once?
Jupiter rotates on its axis most rapidly out of all of the planets, 9h 55m 30s for one full spin.
Is the length of a day on Ceres the same as how long it takes for it to rotate on its axis?
Yes it is.That's the same for any planet or dwarf planet.A " day" is defined as the period of rotation.There are other definitions, but they are all very similar in most cases.
What planet spins most slowly?
venus because it takes 243 days to rotate than the others planet
Is the planet mercury is the fastest planet to rotate?
No. The slowest orbiting planet is Neptune. The speed at which a planet orbits is closely tied with the size of its orbit; the larger the orbit, the slower the planet moves.
How often does planet Venus' revolve?
Venus takes 243 days to spin on its axis relative to the background stars, while it takes 224.7 days to orbit the sun. It spins on its axis in the opposite way to most planets.
Which planet rotate most rapidly?
The planet Jupiter is the largest of the 8 major planets and rotates the most rapidly. Depending on the latitude observed, a complete rotation only takes between 9.8 and 9.9 Earth hours.
How is the rotation of Uranus ulike that of most of the outer planet?
If you look at the entire solar system, all the planets, except Uranus, rotate in the same direction. If you call north up, then all planets rotate on that axis except for Uranus. Uranus spins on it's side in this model. While all the other planets spin on the North/South axis, Uranus spins on the East/West axis.
Which planet has the largest axis?
Most likely Jupiter.
What planet barely spins around its axis?
Mercury executes a complete, 360-degree rotation on its axis every 58.6 earth-days ... very roughly double the rotation period of earth's moon. We're unable to find a definition of 'barely' in our Glossary of Astronomical Terms.
Which planet rotates most slowly about it axis?
You would think that the largest planet, Jupiter, would rotate the slowest (every 9 earth days and 15 minutes), but it is actually Venus that rotates the slowest at one rotation every 243 earth days.
What is located on the top of planet earth?
on the top of planet earth there is the north pole, on top of that is the northern most axis of the Earth, the axis may be cold or hot depending on the axis' current tilt.
