rotation speed
How fast spinning
Rotation speed is how fast something spins, measured in revolutions per unit of time—typically revolutions per minute (RPM).
The term applies to engines, hard drives, turntables, centrifuges, and any rotating machinery: The rotation speed of a vinyl record is 33⅓ RPM.
In astronomy, rotation speed describes how quickly a planet or star turns on its axis.
