It takes approx 88 earth days.
It takes approx 88 earth days.
A Mercurian year is the time it takes for the planet Mercury to complete one orbit around the Sun, which is approximately 88 Earth days. Due to Mercury's proximity to the Sun, a year on Mercury is much shorter than a year on Earth.
A year on Mercury, in terms of the time it takes for the planet to complete one orbit around the Sun, is approximately 88 Earth days. This is due to Mercury's closer proximity to the Sun and its faster elliptical orbit.
Mercury has the shortest year of any of the planets. It is only 88 days. Mercury's day takes 58.646 Earth days.
It takes Mercury around 88 Earth days to make one orbit of our sun. Roughly 4 times for every one Earth orbit (year).
A year for mercury is shorter. It takes 88 days to orbit the sun, making one year on mercury about 3 earth months long.
It takes about 59 Earth days for Mercury to complete one full rotation on its axis.
Mercury take around 87.97 days to make one orbit of the sun, about 3 Earth months for one year on Mercury.
It takes about 59 Earth days (58.66 days) for Mercury to make one rotation.However, its "day" is extended due to the extremely short orbital period of 88 Earth days : a "sunrise to sunrise" solar day is 176 Earth days long (2 Mercury years).This is the source of the saying "On Mercury, a day is twice as long as a year."
No, Mercury doesn't even have an atmosphere.
It takes roughly 365 days for the Earth to go around the Sun once. It takes 87.97 Earth days for Mercury to orbit the sun once.
