🪐 How do planets rotate? In this video, you can see all 8 planets rotating at once. Each planet's rotation is shown moving to a relative scale: Jupiter rotates around 2.4 times faster than the Earth, Venus and Uranus move backwards, rotating clockwise, unlike the other planets. 🔄 ⌛ Here is how long it takes for the Solar System planets to spin one full rotation: Earth: 23h 56m Mercury: 58d 16h Venus: 243d 26m Mars: 24h 36m Jupiter: 9h 55m Saturn: 10h 33m Uranus: 17h 14m Neptune: 16h 7m #planet
