It takes Mercury about 88 earth days to orbit the Sun once.
Mercury is a very slow turner, though. It spins one time on its own axis every 176 days, more or less. That means that Mercury has one complete day every two orbits of the Sun. If you were standing on Mercury (well, better use a remote TV camera, or your burnt ashes will get to minus 300 degrees, F.) you would see the Sun slowly rise into the sky in the morning, then reverse course and slowly go back where it came from.

How much time does Mercury takes to orbit the sun?
It is approx 88 days.
Why the Mercury does have 88 days only compare to planet earth with 365 days?
Because Mercury orbits the Sun much faster than Earth. It takes Earth 365 days to orbit the sun once, but it only takes Mercury 88 days.
Why does Mercury takes less time to orbit the sun?
this is because of the planets close proximity from the sun.according to Kepler's law a small planet like mercury has to orbit the sun really fast or it would get sucked up in to the sun
How much time for earth to orbit the sun?
It takes a year or the earth to orbit the sun.
How much time is taken by Mercury to revolve in its orbit?
88 Earth days
How much orbits do Mercury makes around the Sun for 1 year?
Mercury orbits the sun 4.149 times each year
How much time does it take for Jupiter to orbit earth?
Jupiter does not orbit the earth. It takes 11.86 years for Jupiter to orbit the sun.
How much it takes my planet to orbit the sun?
1 year.
How much time does it take earth to orbit in years?
it takes 1 year for the earth to orbit the sun
How much time does Mercury to orbit the sun?

How much time does it takes for mercury to orbit the sun?
Mercury has an orbital period of 87.969 days. This means that it will take about 88 days here on Earth for Mercury to travel around the Sun once. Since a year is 365.25 days long, it only take 0.24 years for Mercury to revolve around the Sun.
What did general relativity predict about the orbit of Mercury?
The orbits of planets have a point called the "perihelion", which is the point where the planet is closest to the sun. Over time, the perihelion of Mercury's orbit changes position, orbit around the sun itself. General relatively correctly predicted that the shift in the perihelion of Mercury's orbit is much faster than is predicted using Newton's laws.
