Planets of the Solar System: Tilts and Spins
The planets of our solar system spin at different rates and on different axes. Jupiter rotates the fastest, while Venus spins the slowest and backwards. This video from NASA compiles images of all eight planets, showing them spinning side-by-side for comparison. A day on Earth, one rotation, takes only a few seconds in this time-lapse.
