Hi
I read up on astronomy for fun and I find the cosmos very fascinating
my question is what determines the speed of a planet? whys does Earth spin at its current speed where's Venus spins almost 224 Earth days.
I believe I read that the reason why the Earth spins in the first place is inertia; our planet was made up of cosmic dust spinning this way and once the Earth was formed it kept on spinning.
thank you
