177 days shorter on mercury than the earth
Mercury's orbit of 88 days is approximately 1/4 of an Earth year.
One year on Earth is equivalent to about 87.97 Earth days or 1 Mercury year. This is because Mercury's orbit around the sun takes approximately 88 Earth days.
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.
One Earth day on Mercury lasts two Mercurian years, sunrise to sunrise. It is daytime for one Mercurian year, and nighttime for one Mercurian year.
Mercury orbits the Sun once in about 88 Earth days. That's Mercury's year. One year one Earth is about 365 days. So Earth's year is about 4 times longer.
It takes 88 Earth days to make one year on Mercury
Mercury takes 88 Earth days for one revolution (orbit) around the Sun (a Mercury "year").
It takes about 88 of our days to orbit the sun.
87.97
It takes one year. That's one "Mercury year", but it only takes about a quarter of an Earth year. It orbits in about 88 Earth days, in fact.
Mercury take around 87.97 days to make one orbit of the sun, about 3 Earth months for one year on Mercury.
