True, Jupiter rotates on it's axis once every 10 hours.
Jupiter spins the third fastest on its axis, with a day lasting about 9.9 hours.
The rotational period, or how fast a planet spins on its axis, determines the length of a day on that planet. A faster spin results in shorter days, while a slower spin leads to longer days.
False, the speed it spins on it's axis determinds the length of day. The speed it rotates the sun determinds the length of it's year.
Jupiter has a rotation period of approximately 9 hours and 56 minutes, making it the planet with the shortest day in our solar system.
No. All planets discovered to date have some sort of rotational motion, and stars as well. It would be nearly impossible for a moving body in orbit not to have some angular momentum, albeit very slow such as Venus.

spins faster than any other planet exept jupiter
Because Jupiter is so big, it spins faster.

mercury spins faster.
Jupiter spins the third fastest on its axis, with a day lasting about 9.9 hours.
In our solar system, no planet spins that fast - the planet with the shortest day (or rotational period) would be Jupiter - but it is just under 10 hours.
The rotational period, or how fast a planet spins on its axis, determines the length of a day on that planet. A faster spin results in shorter days, while a slower spin leads to longer days.
how does the planet mercury's spins?
It spins at about 12.6 kilometers per second. That's a lot faster than Earth.
False, the speed it spins on it's axis determinds the length of day. The speed it rotates the sun determinds the length of it's year.
