Jupiter spins the third fastest on its axis, with a day lasting about 9.9 hours.
True, Jupiter rotates on it's axis once every 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 long it spins on it's axis
Jupiter takes about 9 hours 55 minutes to spin once on it's axis which makes it the fastest rotation. Mercury is the fastest spinning planet.
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.
In our solar system, Jupiters spins fastest of all planets - just under 10 hours to complete a revolution (one day).
Pluto, but its now no longer classed as a planet - its a `Dwarf Planet`
Jupiter is the planet known for having the fastest rotation, spinning on its axis at a speed of approximately 28,273 miles per hour or about a quarter mile per second.
True, Jupiter rotates on it's axis once every 10 hours.
The axis
The axis
The imaginary line around which a planet spins is called its axis. It is an invisible line that runs from the planet's north pole to its south pole and determines the direction of rotation.
When a planet spins on its axis it is said to rotate. (Think of a top.)

The planet with the fastest rotation is Jupiter, at 9 hours, 50 minutes, and 30 seconds per day.
