I was hoping that someone might give an insight to this on another thread concerning the moon, but no luck there.
Can anyone give me a plausible reason as to why the planets rotate at their particular velocities, e.g. why does the Earth spin ~365 times per orbital revolution, or why does Jupiter spin ~1200 times per orbital revolution?
If anyone has an answer can they please back their views up with some maths.
Thanks.
