In quantum physics what is spin?

spin is the symmetry of something, if it has a spin of 1, then you need to rotate the thing 1 full circle for it to look the same as when you didn't rotate it. if it has a spin of 1/2, then you need to rotate it 1/2 of a circle. it is actually possible for something to have a spin of 2 (2 full circles) or higher.
