In the Solar System, the planet with the fastest rotation on it's axis is Jupiter. The gas giant makes a rotation every 10 hours. Whereas the planet with the slowest is Venus, where a single rotation takes 224 days.

Observation: On Venus, 'same day service' is nothing to cheer.
 
You are thinking about the heavens; stars and planets and moons and I’m thinking about drones and how the current drone mystery will affect the Q-Anon crowd.

That’s a great observation! Venus’s incredibly slow rotation makes a “day” last longer than its year — definitely not ideal for “same day service”! In contrast, Jupiter’s rapid 10-hour rotation makes its days fly by, despite being the largest planet. It’s fascinating how rotation speeds vary so much across the Solar System. These differences also affect atmospheric conditions and weather patterns — Jupiter’s fast spin contributes to its extreme storms, like the Great Red Spot. Meanwhile, Venus’s slow rotation leads to a very stable but intensely hot atmosphere.
