{wiki=List_of_fast_rotators_(minor_planets)}
The list of fast rotators among minor planets refers to celestial bodies, primarily asteroids, that have relatively short rotation periods, meaning they complete a full spin on their axis in a short amount of time. These fast rotators can have rotation periods of less than about 5 hours. Studying fast rotators is significant because their rapid spins can affect their shapes, sizes, and surface features due to the centripetal forces at play.
