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.
When a planet spins on its axis it is said to rotate. (Think of a top.)
how does the planet mercury's spins?
Rotation
Essentially, yes.
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`

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

mercury spins faster.
