Mercury's Length of rotation

Answer 1

Mercury has an elliptical orbit and circles the Sun once every 88 days. The distance from the Sun varies from 46 to 70 million kilometers (23.5 to 43.0 million miles). The mean distance of 58 million kilometers would give an orbit length of about 364 million kilometers, moving at 47.87 kilometers per second.

Answer 2

Mercury spins very slowly on its axis, once every 58.6 days relative to background stars. A solar, or apparent day on Mercury takes 176 days though, because of this slow spin relative to the time taken to orbit, which is around 88 days.

Answer 3

The planet Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun. It can revolve around the Sun in about 60 days.

Answer 4

Mercurys orbit length around the sun is around 87.969 days.

Answer 5

Mercury takes 88 days to go around the sun, so its year is 88 solar days. It spins very slowly on its axis though, once every 58.6 days relative to background stars.

Answer 6

It takes 88 days to orbit the Earth. That is one Mercury year.

Answer 7

It takes 87.9691 Earth days for Mercury to complete one full orbit of the sun.
