All of the planets spin like a top, even the Sun!
Earth spins like a top due to the conservation of angular momentum, a principle that arises from its formation in the solar system. When the planet formed from a rotating disk of gas and dust, it retained that rotational motion. Additionally, the initial uneven distribution of mass and gravitational forces contributed to its spinning. This rotation is maintained because there are minimal external forces acting to slow it down.
every planet has it own axis and that's how it spins. Its like an invisible line going though the planet and like Uranus has a straight axis and every other planet has a tilt. That tells when the planet is in summer and or winter.
Venus
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.
Venus is the slowest planet with a rotational speed of 243 Earth days equaling one Venusian day.
When a planet spins on its axis it is said to rotate. (Think of a top.)
how does the planet mercury's spins?
Essentially, yes.
Rotation
Venus is the only planet in our solar system that rotates clockwise (from east to west), which is technically considered spinning from top to bottom. This opposite direction of rotation is unique among the planets.
EVERYDAY!!!!
Pluto, but its now no longer classed as a planet - its a `Dwarf Planet`

Venus is the only planet in our solar system that spins clockwise on its axis. This is also known as a retrograde rotation.
