If you were able to view the planets from above their north poles, you would see Mercury, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune rotating in a counterclockwise direction and Venus, Uranus, and Pluto (Pluto is now classified as a dwarf planet) rotating in a clockwise direction.

Mercury takes 58.646 days for one spin
Mars = 1.026 days
Earth = 0.997 days
Uranus = 0.718 days
Neptune = 0.671 days
Saturn = 0.426 days
Jupiter = 0.410 days, the quickest to rotate once on its axis

∙ 11y agoThe rotation periods (time taken for the planet to rotate once on its axis relative to background stars) for each of the planets is as follows ( using
the Earth's mean solar day of 24 hours exactly as 1 unit).
Mercury = 58.646
Venus = -243.019
Earth = 0.997
Mars = 1.026
Jupiter = 0.410
Saturn = 0.426
Uranus = -0.718
Neptune = 0.671
negative results for Venus and Uranus show that these planets spin in the opposite direction to most other planets (retrograde).
Notice the Earth rotates in about 4 minutes less than 24 hours.

What planets don't rotate?
All of the planets in the solar system rotate, but two are very slow. They are Mercury and Venus.
What planets rotate?
All planets in the solar system rotate, but not all in the same direction, Mercury, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune all rotate in one direction, while Venus, Uranus, and the dwarf planet Pluto rotate in the opposite direction.
What three planets orbit the sun in a different way than all the other planets?
In fact, Venus, Uranus, and the "dwarf planet" Pluto orbit the Sun in the same direction as all the other planets. So all the planets orbit in the same way.However they rotate in the opposite direction to the other planets.
Do the planets rotate around the sun?
Yes, all of the planets rotate around the sun, in the same direction but at different speeds and time periods. well planets rotate on their own axis, the correct term would be revolve. The planets revolve around the sun
Does the sun rotate around all planets?
The sun doesn't orbit the planets. The planets rotate around the sun and the sun orbits the galactic centre every 225-250 million years.
Which planets rotate on an axis?
All of the planets in the Universe rotate on an axis. They all do.
Do all planets except earth rotate?
All planets rotate. Even earth.
Do all planets revolve and rotate?
Yes, all the planets in our solar system revolve and rotate.
What planets go round the stars?
All 8 planets in our solar system rotate around a star, our sun. Virtually all planets rotate around a star.
Does Saturn rotate on its axis?
Yes. All planets rotate about an axis.
What planets don't rotate?
All of the planets in the solar system rotate, but two are very slow. They are Mercury and Venus.
Which planets in your solar system rotate on their axis?
All of them. A few satellites are tidally locked to their primary (luna for example), but all the planets rotate.
Is all planets rotate around its axis?
no
What planet that does not rotate but has its own orbit?
All the planets rotate (have their own day)
Do all planets in our solar system rotate?
Yes, they all do.
What things can rotate beside the earth?
The Sun, all its planets and the galaxy in which the Sun sits all rotate.
Which inner planet rotates?
All of the planets rotate.
