I was reading a thread about how a pendulum would be affected if the Earth did not rotatehow a pendulum would be affected if the Earth did not rotate and Larian's answer made me wonder if all planets rotate necessarily due to physics.

So that's the question: is it possible for there to exist a planet* that doesn't rotate at all and why?

* In any solar system or galaxy.

Are there planets that do not rotate on their axis?
