88
Mercury revolves around the sun in only 88 days.
Mercury rotates very slowly at a rate of one rotation every 58.65 days. Mercury revolves around the sun once every 88 days.
Mercury rotates in about 57.8 days and takes about 88 days to orbit the sun. 176 days on earth is 1 day on mercury
Mercury which revolves around the sun in 88 days
Mercury rotates on its axis three times for every two revolutions it makes around the Sun. So if Mercury rotates 9 times, it will make 6 revolutions around the Sun.
You are probably thinking of Mercury which revolves around the Sun in 59 days. The word 'rotate' means turning on its axis. We call that a day. The Earth rotates in one day or 24 hours. Mercury rotates (its day) in 176 Earth days. Mercury is really interesting because its day is almost 3 Mercury Years long.
The sun shines on Mercury all the time. Mercury rotates, albeit slowly, so all surfaces eventually are touched by sunlight. The "day" on Mercury is 56.646 earth days, or 1407.5 hours long. A link can be found below.
Mercury rotates once every 58.6 Earth days, and orbits the Sun in about 88 Earth days.The result is that Mercury's "solar day" is about 176 Earth days, twice as long as its year.
How long does it take for Mercury to trvael around the sun ?
It takes Mercury 87 days to orbit the sun.
All the planets revolve around the Sun in the same direction. As seen from a position arbitrarily "above" the plane of the planetary orbits (i.e. above Earth's North Pole), the planets orbit counter-clockwise.
Mercury rotates once in about 58.6 Earth days.
