Mercury rotates once every 58.647 days.
It takes about 58.646 days.
3025 miles:)
In the time it takes Mercury to complete one rotation, Neptune rotates 87.37 times.
One day (or one rotation around its axis) takes 1407.6 Earth hours.
It spins very slowly on its axis, once every 58.6 days relative to background stars.
Mercury does not spin as fast as Earth, so a Mercurian day (the time it takes a planet to rotate once) is 59 Earth days.
Mercury rotates on its axis which similar to the earth. However, it takes 177 earth days for the small planet to make one rotation.
Mercury has a rotation period of 58.646 days.

Mercury is probably the closest with a sidereal rotation period of 58.646 days
It takes about 59 Earth days (58.66 days) for Mercury to make one rotation.However, its "day" is extended due to the extremely short orbital period of 88 Earth days : a "sunrise to sunrise" solar day is 176 Earth days long (2 Mercury years).This is the source of the saying "On Mercury, a day is twice as long as a year."
it takes 88 days
The rotation period of Venus is equal to about 243.02 Earth days.
It takes Mercury 1407.6 Earth hours to make one full rotation around its axis.
It takes Mercury 1407.6 Earth hours to make one full rotation around its axis.
