Answer:

Conservation of angular momentum

Step-by-step explanation:

When the objects spread in universe after big bang, because of the tremendous force , they gained angular momentum and started to rotate. Since, then the object continue to rotate on their axis because of conservation of angular momentum. In vacuum of space there no other forces that can stop these rotation, therefore, they continue to rotate.
