This is called "rotation" or "spin".
Jupiter's fast spin causes it to bulge at the equator and flatten at the poles, resulting in an oblate spheroid shape. This rapid rotation also contributes to the strong magnetic field generated by the planet.
All planets lie in the plane of their orbit, but most spin on an that is nearly (many have tilted axes of spin) perpendicular to that plane. The one exception is the planet Uranus which has its axis of spin lying very close to its orbital plane.
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.
If the planet moved out of it's orbit the planet can be destroyed or spin out of control
Yes.
Several planets are flattened at the poles. That just means the distance between the poles is less than diameter of the planet at the equator. Saturn is the most extreme example in our solar system, followed by Jupiter. Even the Earth is slightly flattened at the poles. Astronomers call this "oblateness".
Venus is the terrestrial planet with retrograde spin, meaning it rotates on its axis in the opposite direction to most other planets in our solar system.
Jupiter is the planet with flattened poles due to its rapid rotation. This fast rotation causes the planet to bulge at its equator and flatten at the poles.
The planet Uranus spins on its side.
The rotation of the planet on its axis of spin. The spin is responsible for the day and the night.

No, an activity can not intrinsically change the shape of the planet.
This is called "rotation" or "spin".
Jupiter's fast spin causes it to bulge at the equator and flatten at the poles, resulting in an oblate spheroid shape. This rapid rotation also contributes to the strong magnetic field generated by the planet.
Most of the planets in our solar system spin anticlockwise (counterclockwise) when viewed from above the north pole, but Uranus and Venus are exceptions - they spin clockwise on their axis.
what does earth spin on besides a inmaginary line? ============== Planet Earth rotates on its axis.
