EVERY planet? Well, every one we've examined closely. There are a couple of thousand "exoplanets" that orbit other stars; we know scarcely more about those other than that they exist.
It's highly likely that MOST planets have a revolution; they orbit their parent stars. But while we have not actually discovered any "free planets", what we know of cosmology suggests that there probably are a few "free" planets that do not orbit any star.
From a strictly physics and engineering standpoint, I can say that it's highly likely that every planet rotates. The idea of a planetary body without at least a LITTLE bit of spin is quite unlikely.
But in a galaxy with nearly a trillion stars and probably even more planets, there may be a few that don't rotate.

What happen every 24 hours?
Twenty four hours, one day, represents the time it takes for planet Earth to revolve on its axis one complete time. It takes 365 days for the Earth to rotate around the sun.
Who stated there should be a revolution for every generation?
Thomas Jefferson
Why does the moon rise gets delayed day after day?
That is because of the Moon's orbital movement around the Earth - one revolution every 27 days.That is because of the Moon's orbital movement around the Earth - one revolution every 27 days.That is because of the Moon's orbital movement around the Earth - one revolution every 27 days.That is because of the Moon's orbital movement around the Earth - one revolution every 27 days.
Can donkeys have babies?
Yes. It is mules and hinnies that cannot have offspring.
What is cyber revolution?
Cyber means computer whereas revolution means abrupt/rapid change happened in an area. Computer has created revolution in the world not by itself as a standalone unit but also because of the penetration of Internet. Both together has made many of our lives easy and hence it has become one of the necessities in almost every home.
What planet's revolution and rotation only takes twenty seven days?
No planet has a revolution and rotation that takes 27 days. The Moon rotates once every 27 days and revolves around the Earth once every 27 days.
Does every planet in your solar system have the same rotation and revolution?
no. they all rotate and revolve at different speeds.
What is the second planet from the sun describe its characteristics rotation revolution of the planet?
the second planet from the sun is venus it goes around the sun every 227.4 earth days
What is Jupiters period of rotation and revolution?
Jupiter rotates once on its axis every 10 hours. The planet makes once complete rotation around the Sun every 12 years.
What happen once every 24 hours the earth rotation or the moon rotation?
The earth rotation
Which planet has the shortest rotational period?
Jupiter is the planet with the shortest rotation time. It rotates once every 9 hours and 50 minutes.Jupiter in the planet with the shortest rotation time, with a day approximately 12 hours long.
Planets do not collide into one another because?
Every planet has different size and is placed at different distance from the sun. The gravitational pull between the sun and the planet depends upon the distance and size of the planet and hence affects the speed of rotation and revolution of the planet around its own axes as well as around the sun. This specific distance and speed of revolution and rotation locks the planet in its orbit having specific radius which is unique for every planet. This is the reason they have separate path and speed to rotate around its own axes as well as around the sun. , hence they do not collide with each other.
When is the planetary day?
Every rotation of a planet on its axis is a planetary day.
What is meant by the rotations and revolution of a planet?
Rotation is the time needed for a planet to rotate around itself or axis Revolution is time needed to orbit aroung the Sun. For example Earth rotation is 24 hours and its revolution is 365 dayz.Rotation is used to denote the turning of a body on its axis.I.e. The rotational period of Neptune is 16 hours, as opposed to that of Earth which is 24 hours.Revolution is used to denote the movement of one body around another.I.e. The Moon makes a complete revolution about the Earth about every 27 days.
When a planet turns all the way around on its axis?
Every time a planet makes a full rotation that is considered one day on that planet.
What is Mercury's rotation period and what does rotation mean?
mercury's rotation period is 58.647 earth days. a rotation is when the planet turns around on its axis, like what the earth does once every day.
