No. But a solar day (sunrise to sunrise) is longer than its orbital period -- in fact it is exactly twice as long. Due to Mercury's 3:2 spin-orbit resonance, a solar day (the length between two meridian transits of the Sun) lasts about 176 Earth days. The orbital period around the sun is about 88 days.
A sidereal day (the sidereal period of rotation), lasts about 58.7 Earth days.
Mercury has the longest apparent days and nights, due to its slow spin and its rotation around the sun.
It spins very slowly on its axis, once every 58.6 days relative to background stars. A solar (apparent) day on Mercury takes 176 days though, because of this slow spin relative to the time taken to orbit (88 days).
It has a very slow rotation on its axis, therefore making the night and day cycle very long. However, Mercury has even longer days and nights.
Although Venus takes longer to rotate than Mercury it rotates in the opposite direction. The result is that Mercury has a longer day ( "solar day") than
Venus.
Planets that are located inside the orbit of Earth are classified as inferior planets, and these include Venus and Mercury. After the Moon, Venus is the brightest object in the night sky.
Mercury is less hotter than Venus because it has a thin atmosphere and the heat that is attracted during day time goes away at night and the temperature becomes -170 degrees while Venus has a thick atmosphere and does not allow heat to pass.
Mercury is called the morning star and the evening star because it can be seen during the day and the night. Venus can also be seen in the day and night too.
Mercury: in the day about 700K at night about 100K Venus : All the time about 735K A more interesting question you should be asking yourself right now is: Why is Venus hotter than Mercury when it is further from the sun?
Earth is farther from the sun than Mercury and Venus, and so recieves kess energy from the sun. Compared with Venus, Earth also has a lot less carbon dioxide in its atmosphere, so it does not hold heat as easily. Since Mercury has almost not atmosphere to hold in heat, the night side of the planet is actually extremely cold.
The rotation period of Mercury is 58.65 days.
Venus is the planet that exhibits reverse rotation. After the Moon, the planet Venus is the brightest object in the sky at night.
Venus
The planet is Mercury. (Some people think it is Venus, but it is Mercury.)

Heat is the common denominator of Mercury and Venus. While Venus remains around 800 degrees, Mercury changes from extremely hot to extremely freezing, depending on which side is facing the Sun. Unlike Venus, Mercury does not have enough of an atmosphere to keep the heat in at night.
117 earth days is equal to 1 Venus day. (including night time.) Mercury's day is the equivalent to 176 earth days.
Planets that are located inside the orbit of Earth are classified as inferior planets, and these include Venus and Mercury. After the Moon, Venus is the brightest object in the night sky.
The brightest planet at night, depending on phase, is Venus. Jupiter and Mars can be a close second, depending on the season.
Both Mercury and Venus orbit close to the Sun (relative to us and the other planets) therefore they would only be visible close to the Sun. This means that Venus and Mercury will only be seen after sunset (and then set) or after sunrise (and then be out-shined by the Sun)
