Re: Planet Rotation Speeds

The Terrestrial planets can be expected to turn slower due to 'tidal forces' dissipating their rotational angular momentum. If you check out the length of a day on ancient earth, it was much shorter than the Jovian planets.

In general, for a stable climate, I would agree that smaller planets better turn slower.
