Why does mercury have a North Pole?

All planets, moons, suns, stars, and so forth spin like a top. There is a top and bottom where the spin is almost nothing. These are called the poles. 'North' pole and 'south' pole are terms used because the earth is full of iron, and therefore like a huge magnet with . . . a north and south pole. Other planets, suns, stars, moons, and so forth may or may not have iron cores, but the north and south pole convention applies anyway.
