How long is the day?
one day on Mercury is approximetly 10 secends. one year on mercury is 80 days.
What is the length of Mercury's orbit in Earth days?
One year on Mercury is about 88 Earth days long, 3/4 of a Mercurian day.
How long does it take for one rotation on mercury's axis?
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."
Which planet's day is closest in length to its year?
The planet Mercury has a day that is almost the same length as its year. Mercury's rotation period is about 59 Earth days, which is very close to its orbital period around the Sun of about 88 Earth days. This means that one day on Mercury is almost as long as one year on Mercury.

How long is one yer on Mercury?
One year on Mercury is 88 days on earth.
What is the length of day for Mercury in Earth days?
To understand the length of a day on Mercury, it is important to know the length of a Mercurian year. (Actually you don't need to know that.) Mercury orbits the sun in about 88 Earth days. It rotates on its axis (day) three times for every two orbits around the Sun (year). A Mercurian year lasts about one and a half Mercurian days. That's about 58.65 Earth days for the length of a day on Mercury. Remember though that this is called a "sidereal day". There's also another day called the "solar day". This is based on the apparent journey of the Sun round the sky. For Earth these two days are only slightly different, but for Mercury the difference is huge. The solar day is about 176 Earth days on Mercury.
How long dose it take mercury to rotate on its axis?
Exactly one Mercury day.
How long are days on Mercury?
On Mercury, one day there is equal to 58.65 days here.
How long is mercury's year compared to earth's year?
Mercury take around 87.97 days to make one orbit of the sun, about 3 Earth months for one year on Mercury.
What is a day longer than year?
Venus: Venus has a "sidereal" day (rotation period)that's longer than its "year" (orbital period).A siderealday on Venus is equal to about243 Earth days, whereas a year is about 224.7 Earth days.Mercury:It takes Mercury about58.64 Earth days to spin on its axis - which is one Mercury siderealday. However, the "solar " day on Mercury is about 176 Earth days long.It takes Mercury about87.96 Earth days to orbit the Sun, which is defined as one Mercury year.So, for Mercury it is thesolar day, not the sidereal day that is longer than its year.(A solar day on Earth is 24 hours. A sidereal day, which is how long it takes Earth to spin on its axis, is about 4 minutes shorter.A year on Earth is about365.25 days - which is how long it takes Earth to orbit the Sun.)
