How long is it to spin round mercury?
Mercury does not spin as fast as Earth, so a Mercurian day (the time it takes a planet to rotate once) is 59 Earth days.
How long does it take mercury to spin around its axis and how many earth days is that?
A Mercurian "day" the (time it takes it go spin once on it's axis) is equal to 58.65 earth days. Mercury turns on it's axis very, very slowly.
What is one interesting feature of mercury?
Because of the periods of Mercury's orbit and spin, a year (complete orbit around the sun) on Mercury is about 88 Earth days long, while a day (time for the Sun to appear in the same place in the sky) is twice that length, at about 176 Earth days long.
What side does the sun rise on mercury?
As with Earth, the sun on Mercury rises in the east and sets in the west. Mercury has a very long solar day though. Mercury takes 88 days to go around the sun, so its year is 88 solar days. It spins very slowly on its axis though, once every 58.6 days relative to background stars. A solar (apparent) day on Mercury takes 176 days, because of this slow spin relative to the time taken to orbit. For Venus, the sun rises in the west and sets in the east. Venus has a very long solar day as well, due to the the chracteristics of its orbit and axial spin.
What is Jupiter rotation period How long it takes to spin around its axis?
About 0.42 Earth days.
How long does it take mercury to spin all the way around?
88 days
Why are there 24h in a day?
That's how long it takes the earth to spin around once fully.
How long is it to spin round mercury?
Mercury does not spin as fast as Earth, so a Mercurian day (the time it takes a planet to rotate once) is 59 Earth days.
Which planet takes longer than mercury to spin around its axis?
Every single planet but Mercury
Which planet takes longer to spin around on its axis then Mercury?
Neptune
Which planet takes longer to spin around than mercury?
Venus.

How long does it take Mercury to spin in earth days?
The answer is 58.646 day.
How long does it take mercury to spin?
It takes Mercury much longer than planet Earth to make a complete spin on its axis. Mercury rotates once every 1407 hours or 58 days.
Does Mercury spin counterclockwise?
yes, mercury does spin counter clockwise.
What is one interesting feature of mercury?

What does it mean to say that mercury has a 3 2 spin orbit resonance?
Mercury is locked into a 3/2 spin-orbit resonance where it rotates three times on its axis for every two orbits around the sun
