All the planets rotate (have their own day)
Yes, Mercury does rotate about its own axis. However, its rotation is unique in that it is in a 3:2 spin-orbit resonance, meaning it rotates on its axis three times for every two orbits around the Sun.
Three rules for consideration for planets are: 1) The planet must orbit a star. 2) The planet must have enough mass to have a nearly round shape. 3) The planet must have cleared its orbit of other debris.
Our own planet Earth is tilted at its axis by about 23.5 degrees.
A planet - is defined as an object that has its own gravity, and is in orbit around a sun.
An artificial satellite can rotate on its own axis in a motion known as spin stabilization. This rotation helps to control its orientation in space. In addition to rotating on its own axis, the satellite also orbits, or revolves, around the planet it is orbiting.
Actually,as the planet Revolve and Rotate the path is an orbit....^_^
The very short answer to that is Gravity Im affraid.
Orbit the sun and rotate on their axis.
it needs to be able to orbit and rotate on its axis uless it is venus!

Mercury is the closest planet to the sun thus Mercury has the shortest orbit duration. It takes the planet Mercury 88 days to rotate around the sun.

It varies from planet to planet. But most planets including our own, orbit the star in an elliptical motion.
Our own planet Earth is tilted at its axis by about 23.5 degrees.
Moon moves around the planet Earth in an orbit and rotates on its own axis. It takes moon around 28 days to move around the planet Earth. Normally, the moon takes around 27 days to rotate on its axis.
