Rotation speeds are given in terms of angular units per time, not in terms of distance per unit time (eg km/h) which do not make sense unless a radius is given - the larger the radius, the more distance is covered by the same angle.

Uranus rotates once every 17 hours, 14 minutes, 24 seconds giving it an angular velocity of about 20.88 degrees/hour.

With an equatorial radius of about 25,559 km, the equator travels at about 9,320 km/h around the axis of spin.

The pole with a radius of 0 km travels at 0 km/h around its axis - it just rotates on the spot!
