What is the eccentricity of mercury's orbit?

Mercury has an eccentricity of about 0.206, which means its orbit is more elliptical than circular. This eccentricity causes Mercury's distance from the Sun to vary significantly during its orbit, leading to temperature extremes on the planet's surface.

How close would a planets orbit be at 24 earth days?

That's an interesting question! It would be very close to the sun, closer than Mercury with its 88 day orbit. The mass of this planet would come into play, but a rough estimate based on the other planets orbits would place it at around 30 million km from the sun, where mercury is 58 million km from the sun.


What are the two reasons why Mars takes so long to orbit the Sun than Mercury?

The two reasons why Mars takes longer to orbit the Sun than Mercury are its greater distance from the Sun and its slower orbital speed due to its larger orbit. Mercury is much closer to the Sun and has a shorter orbit around it compared to Mars.
