Of the known planets in the solar system, Mercury, being nearest to the sun, completes its orbit in the shortest time . . . 88 earth days.
Mercury completes approximately 4.15 orbits around the Sun for every 1 orbit that Earth makes. This ratio is due to Mercury's shorter orbital period, which is about 88 Earth days, compared to Earth's 365.25 days. As a result, Mercury moves much faster in its orbit than Earth.
