The rotational motion of a viscoelastic planet in the solar system is studied using the many-parameter model of the linear theory of viscoelasticity. The method of averaging is used to obtain the equations describing the evolution of plane rotational motion in the non-resonant and resonant cases. The limiting angular velocity and conditions for the existence of a stable resonant rotation are obtained as functions of the eccentricity and of the parameters characterizing the properties of the material of the planet.
