jupiter is the fastest spinning planet. despite the large size, it only takes 9 hours and 55 minutes to do a full rotation. this meaning the surface is moving at 45,000 km/h.

What is Jupiter's rotation?

Jupiter's rotation takes 9 hrs. and 50 minutes. I found out that it is an elliptical orbit and that it is the fastest rotation in our whole solar system. It also takes 11.85 Earth years to make one whole orbit.


What is the difference between earths spin and the moons spin?

The earth's period of rotation is a few minutes short of 24 hours, whereas the moon's period of rotation is a bit over 27 days.


Do any planets spin around?

Yes, all planets that we know of have at least some spin - their rotation on the axis being the planet's day. In our solar system Jupiter spins the fastest - with a day under 10 hours long.


What is the time for mars to spin once?

The sidereal rotation period of Mars - one spin on its axis relative to background stars, is 24.623 hours. This is very similar to the earths sidereal rotation period.


Does Jupiter rotate on an axis?

All planets do. The difference is that for gas giant planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune), the speed of the "surface spin" is often quite different from the rotation of the atmosphere, which will vary by latitude.

Does europa spin on its axis?

Yes. Europa is tidally locked to Jupiter, meaning it completes one rotation every orbit. As a result, one side always faces Jupiter.
