All of the planets spin like a top, even the Sun!

∙ 12y agoUranus spins on its side, causing it to rotate like a top rather than spinning like most planets which rotate vertically. This unusual orientation is likely the result of a past collision with a large object.
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.
Jupiter spins the third fastest on its axis, with a day lasting about 9.9 hours.
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.
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
EVERYDAY!!!!
Pluto, but its now no longer classed as a planet - its a `Dwarf Planet`

Uranus is the planet in our solar system that spins on its side. Its axis of rotation is tilted at a steep angle, causing it to appear as if it is rolling along its orbit around the sun.
it spins us around are planet
Both moons and planets are solid, celestial bodies that orbit around a star (usually a sun). Moons can be similar to planets in terms of their geological characteristics, such as having surface features like mountains, valleys, and craters. Additionally, both moons and planets play crucial roles in the formation and stability of the solar system.
Uranus spins on a nearly horizontal axis, tilted at an angle of about 98 degrees relative to its orbit around the Sun. This unique orientation causes extreme seasonal variations on the planet as different hemispheres receive varying amounts of sunlight throughout its orbit.
