The movement around the Sun is called "revolution", not "rotation". It takes Mercury 88 days for one revolution - almost three months.
Mercury rotates once in about 58.6 Earth days.
It takes 58.6 Earth days for Mercury to rotate on it's axis once.
Mercury. Its takes around 58.65 days to rotate once on its axis relative to background stars.
No, it take Mercury 58 days 15 hours to rotate once.
Because it takes almost the same time to rotate once on its axis, as it takes to revolve once around the sun.
Because - Mercury takes that long to rotate once on its axis. Each of the planets in our solar system ratates at different speeds
24 hours
165 (Earth) years.
if you mean around the sun it takes about 88 days or 87. something i can't remember
It takes Mercury 58.66 Earth days to rotate on it's axis.
The Sun does not rotate around the Earth, nor does the Earth rotate around the Sun. The Earth revolves around the Sun each year, and each body rotates about its own axis: once a day for the Earth, once in about 25 days for the Sun.
The Mercury Year (time to revolve around the Sun) is 3/2 the Mercury day (time to revolve once on its own axis relative to the distant stars) Mercury orbital period about 87,97 Earth days Sidereal day (relative to the stars) 58,7 earth days.
