In the following tweet, Dr O'Donoghue explained that a day on Jupiter is 9 hours and 56 minutes. “It's the biggest and also [the] fastest planet. In the early solar system, it grew from loads of Sun-orbiting material, converting the orbital momentum into spin angular momentum. Bigger planets are likely to be fast for this reason,” he added.
