It takes about 88 of our days to orbit the sun.
On Mercury, just like on Earth and on every other planet, the sun is rising somewhere every minute of every day.
Mercury orbits the sun once every 88 days, so a 'Mercurian year' is about three months long. For every one Earth year, you will have just over 4 'Mercurian years'.
about 87 earth days
Yes. There is a gravitational force of attraction between every pair of mass objects. EVERY pair.
about 4.15 times
The length of a year (orbit) for Mercury is 88 Earth days, about 1/4 that of Earth. The planet spins 1.5 times during that period, about once every 58.7 Earth days. The combination of these motions results in a "solar day" (sunrise to sunrise) of 176 Earth days, or exactly twice as long as the year. So you could say that a Mercury year is only half of a Mercury solar day.
An average child would weigh approximately 38.7% of their weight on Mercury compared to Earth. This means that if a child weighs 50 pounds on Earth, they would weigh around 19.35 pounds on Mercury. Mercury's weaker gravity compared to Earth is responsible for this difference in weight.
Mercury completes approximately 4.15 orbits around the Sun for every 1 orbit that Earth makes. This ratio is due to Mercury's shorter orbital period, which is about 88 Earth days, compared to Earth's 365.25 days. As a result, Mercury moves much faster in its orbit than Earth.
Mercury experiences 3 days exactly for every two revolutions about the Sun. This is 88 Earth days in 1 Mercury year.
mercury's rotation period is 58.647 earth days. a rotation is when the planet turns around on its axis, like what the earth does once every day.
Mercury orbits the sun every 88 days, the earth orbits the sun every 365 days.Therefore 365/ 88 = 4.14 times
