Quick Answer
Jupiter has the shortest day in the Solar System. It rotates once in about 9 hours 56 minutes.
The Full Story
Jupiter is the fastest-spinning planet, completing one rotation in just under 10 hours. Because it is a giant gas planet, different parts rotate at slightly different speeds, so the exact value depends on how it is measured. The commonly cited system-III rotation period is about 9 hours 55 minutes 30 seconds. Its rapid spin also helps make Jupiter noticeably flattened at the poles.
