Because of the periods of Mercury's orbit and spin, a year (complete orbit around the sun) on Mercury is about 88 Earth days long, while a day (time for the Sun to appear in the same place in the sky) is twice that length, at about 176 Earth days long.

Is there any interesting geological in mercury?
The crust of Mercury has been reheated and refrozen every two months for hundreds of millions of years. That should produce interesting geology, and the lack of erosive wind or water would preserve these. One feature observed closely by NASA's MESSENGER probe is the 1500-km-wide crater called the Caloris Basin. Radial fissures within the feature provide interesting clues to the underlying rock formations. (MESSENGER will map Mercury while orbiting the planet beginning in 2011.)
