59 Earth Days(58.646day) equal to a mercury day.
Mercury rotates once in about 59 Earth days. That is often called its "day". There's another definition of day called the "solar day". For Mercury that's 176 Earth days. So, you can see there's only a small fraction of a Mercury day in one Earth day.

Mercury's orbit of 88 days is approximately 1/4 of an Earth year.
It takes about 88 of our days to orbit the sun.
2, Mercury and Venus.
There are 8 planets in our solar system: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
One Mercury year is equivalent to about 88 Earth days. Since an Earth month is approximately 30 days, this means that one Mercury year is roughly equal to 2.9 Earth months.
It takes 88 Earth days to make one year on Mercury
The rotation period of Mercury is about 59 Earth Days (58.646 days).However, Mercury's orbit of the Sun takes just 88 Earth days, and the result is that the solar day (sunrise to sunrise) on Mercury is much longer. In fact, it is 176 Earth days, or twice the length of the year. The counterclockwise movement around the Sun is in the same direction as the planet turns, preventing the normal rotational day.
