Mercury.
58.6 Earth days x 24 for hours
Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun in our Solar System. It rotates very slowly on its axis. The length of one day on Mercury is equal to 58 days, 15 hours and 30 minutes on Earth.
88 earth days * * * * * Actually, that is a Mercury year! A mercury day is 58.64 earth days.
The length of day on Mercury is 58.646 Earth days. That's the rotation time, which is the sidereal day, but there's also the solar day. The solar day on Mercury is 176 Earth days.

One day on Mercury is equal to 1407.6 Earth hours.
The length of day on Mercury is 58.646 Earth days. That's the rotation time, which is the sidereal day, but there's also the solar day. The solar day on Mercury is 176 Earth days.
They aren't. A day is 24 hours long and a year is 365 days long, which is 8760 hours in a year.
A mercury day (sidereal rotation period) is 58.646 earth days = 1407.5 hours.
The length of day and night depend upon the season of the year and the latitude of the desert. Over a year it averages 12 hours of day and 12 hours of night.
To understand the length of a day on Mercury, it is important to know the length of a Mercurian year. (Actually you don't need to know that.) Mercury orbits the sun in about 88 Earth days. It rotates on its axis (day) three times for every two orbits around the Sun (year). A Mercurian year lasts about one and a half Mercurian days. That's about 58.65 Earth days for the length of a day on Mercury. Remember though that this is called a "sidereal day". There's also another day called the "solar day". This is based on the apparent journey of the Sun round the sky. For Earth these two days are only slightly different, but for Mercury the difference is huge. The solar day is about 176 Earth days on Mercury.
coz of how it obsorves with the sun
