What causes a day to last longer on mercury than on earth?
A day is defined as 1 full rotation. So mercury rotates at a slower pace than earth.
What is the length of one day on murcery?
One day on Mercury is equivalent to approximately 59 Earth days. Mercury rotates on its axis very slowly, which causes its day to be much longer than a day on Earth.
Would a mercury year be longer or shorter than a earth year?
Shorter. Mercury has a shorter orbit than earth and 1 day in mercury = 59 days on Earth. 1 year on mercury= 88 days on earth.
Which planets take longer then earth to complete one rotation?
Venus takes longer than Earth to complete one rotation on its axis. A day on Venus is longer than a year on Venus, as it rotates very slowly clockwise. Mercury also takes longer than Earth to complete one rotation due to its slow spin.
Why is the solar day on Mercury longer than earth's solar day?
1) Mercury rotates very slowly. It takes Mercury about 58.6 Earth days to rotate just once. That's the length of the sidereal day. 2) Mercury has a solar day of about 176 Earth days in length. So, Mercury's solar day is much longer than its long sidereal day. That's because of the combination of slow rotation with a short orbital period (about 88 Earth days).
Why is the length of a year in mercury much longer than a day in earth?
coz of how it obsorves with the sun
Which will take more time to complete orbit around the sun mercury or earth?
Earth takes a lot longer to make one complete order around the sun than Mercury does. The time required for Mercury to make one orbit is equal to 88 Earth days (whereas one orbit for Earth is about 365 Earth days).
What planet is bigger than Mercury?
Mars, because Mercury is the smallest planet we have now either than pluto when it used to be a planet. Hope this helped! Caleigh (kay-lee)
How much bigger is mercury than earth?
Mercury is much smaller than earth.
What planets years are longer than its days?
Venus and Mercury have longer years than days. Venus takes about 225 Earth days to complete one orbit around the Sun, while a day on Venus (one rotation on its axis) takes about 243 Earth days. Mercury takes about 88 Earth days to complete one orbit but has a much slower rotation period, which means a year on Mercury is longer than a day.
Is mercury lager or smaller than earth?
Mercury is more than 2x smaller than Earth.
Witch planets have 24 hour days?
Mercury and Venus have days longer than 24 hours, while Mars has a day that is just slightly longer than Earth's 24-hour day.
