Venus has a slower rotation than Earth. It takes approximately 243 Earth days for Venus to complete one full rotation on its axis, compared to Earth's 24-hour day.
A day is defined as 1 full rotation. So mercury rotates at a slower pace than earth.
No. The moon rotates much slower than Earth. Earth completes a rotation once every days. The moon completes a rotation once every 27 days.
The equatorial rotational speed for the planet Mars is about 868.22 km/hr or 540 mph. This is far slower than the rotation of Earth (1674.4 km/hr), giving the two planets roughly the same period of rotation (Mars day = 24.6 Earth hours).
Jupiter is less dense and has a shorter period of rotation.
The Earth rotates once in about 24 hours with respect to the sun and once every 23 hours 56 minutes and 4 seconds with respect to the stars (see below). Mars rotation is 24 hours, 39 minutes, and 35 seconds if you are interested in the solar day or 24 hours, 37 minutes and 22 seconds for the sidereal day. Since the planet only rotates about 40 minutes slower than Earth, this is one category where the two planets are not very different.

because it has a slower rotation rate than earth
The influence of the Earth has slowed down the rotation of the moon.
I believe the rotation of Venus is slowest, within our Solar System.
No. The moon rotates much slower than Earth. Earth completes a rotation once every days. The moon completes a rotation once every 27 days.
yes it does
The equatorial rotational speed for the planet Mars is about 868.22 km/hr or 540 mph. This is far slower than the rotation of Earth (1674.4 km/hr), giving the two planets roughly the same period of rotation (Mars day = 24.6 Earth hours).
The moon appears slower than the Earth because it takes longer to complete a full rotation on its axis. The Moon's rotation period is the same as its orbital period, so we always see the same side facing Earth. This creates the illusion of the Moon moving slowly across the sky.
The planet Venus takes approximately 243 Earth days to complete one rotation on its axis. This is much longer than 28 days. The planet Mercury has a rotation period of about 59 Earth days, also longer than 28 days.
Venus rotates on its axis more slowly than any other planet in our solar system. It takes about 243 Earth days to complete one full rotation, which is longer than the time it takes to complete one orbit around the Sun. This slow rotation also means that a day on Venus (from one sunrise to the next) is longer than a year on Venus.
Jupiter is the planet with the fastest rotation, spinning around its axis once every 9.9 hours. This rapid rotation causes the planet to have an oblate shape, meaning it is flattened at the poles and bulging at the equator.
Because the Earth is far more massive than the Moon is. If the center of rotation (also known as the "barycenter") was between the Earth and the Moon, then they would be co-planets rather than planet and moon.
