It depends on where you're standing on the planet.
None - if you're standing on the poles : the Sun always remains on the horizon.
Twice - if you're standing near the 90° meridians (east and west), and other meridians too at high latitude.
Once - elsewhere.

Due to the close proximity of mercury to the sun, we would all be burned up. Also in the process of the Earth moving to Mercury's position, a geographical disaster would occur due to the stress the planet would be under.
Venus has perpetual very thick cloud layers, so on the surface there would be no visible sunrise. If the clouds were somehow removed, then there would be a sunrise, but because Venus rotates so slowly (and in the wrong direction) it would be a bit different than an Earthly sunrise.
If 20g of mercury oxide were heated, the combined mass of oxygen and mercury would be 20 grams.
The height of the Mercury column would decrease.
You would weigh 27.2lbs on Mercury.
On March 21, sunrise would occur first at Montauk Point on the eastern tip of Long Island, New York.
The sidereal rotation period (e.g day) of Mercury is 58.646 days.Mercury's orbital period (e.g Year) is 87.969 days.The combination of this rotation (spinning) and its orbital motion is that the "solar day" on Mercury (sunrise to sunrise) would be about 176 Earth days, and the Sun would not appear to move at a constant rate across the Mercury sky.See related link for more information.58 days and 19 hoursthe length of one day on mercury is 58.646 earth days
Only mercury is a chemical element which occur in the nature as a liquid.
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)
Sunrise in Nevada would be earlier because it is east of Oakland.
Due to the close proximity of mercury to the sun, we would all be burned up. Also in the process of the Earth moving to Mercury's position, a geographical disaster would occur due to the stress the planet would be under.
Mercury's year is 88 Earth days. Its tilt is such that for one orbit around the sun (88 Earth days) one side is always in light. For the following entire orbit (88 Earth days) that side would be darkness (night). So in two Mercurian years (two orbits), there is only one day (sunrise to sunrise). Thus it is on MERCURY that you have two birthdays in one single day.

Mercury is seen as a dim star without a telescope, although what it looks like is dependent on it's orbital position and the amount of light pollution in your area. Unfortunately, Mercury's close orbit with the Sun often causes the Sun to "hide" Mercury in a glare during sunrise and sunset and when it is visible to the naked eye, which is rare, it's very low to the horizon. However, if the Sun weren't so blindingly bright, you could see Mercury transit past the Sun as a black dot moving across the Sun but this is only visible with a solar telescope or a telescope with a solar filter.
