Every six years, Earth spins slightly faster and then slower. Cyclic changes in day length overlie decades-long trends. The world turns slightly faster and slower on a regular 5.9-year cycle, a new study suggests. Researchers also found small speed changes that happen at the same time as sudden alterations in Earthâs magnetic field.
Rotation about its axis = 153.3 hours So the slowest planet is Venus whose period of rotation about ts own axis is longer than its year. The fastest is Jupiter - and its quick rotation gives it a squashed appearance because of 'centrifugal force' making the planet bulge out at the equator. The rotation on its own axis is normally what we call the planet's 'day'. On earth, of course, a day is thought of as equalling 24 hours. This refers to a <i>Solar</i> Day (ie the time for the earth to rotate once on its axis so that the sun appears again in exactly the same place in the sky the next day.
