You are probably thinking of Mercury which revolves around the Sun in 59 days. The word 'rotate' means turning on its axis. We call that a day. The Earth rotates in one day or 24 hours. Mercury rotates (its day) in 176 Earth days. Mercury is really interesting because its day is almost 3 Mercury Years long.

The speed of a planet in its elliptical orbit around the sun?
The path that planets take around the sun is called it's orbit. The gravitation pull of the sun keeps each planet in it's orbit. Each planets orbit varies in the time it takes to make one trip around the sun.
As Isaac Newton explained a planet moves through an elliptical orbit because of its gravitation attraction to the sun and because of?
Its tendency to remain in straight-line motion
Why does it look like the moon moves across the sky during the day?
Because the moon rotates around the earth!
What planet moves in an elliptical orbit around the sun?

What is the location of Mercury?
Mercury is the planet closest to the Sun. As Mercury rotates slowly on its axis about once every 59 Earth days, it moves in an elliptical or oval-shaped orbit around the Sun, faster than any other planet.
in which path did all planets move around in which path did all the planets move around?
Each planet moves in its own elliptical orbit round the Sun, then and now.
Motions of the moon?
Moon moves around the planet Earth in an orbit and rotates on its own axis. It takes moon around 28 days to move around the planet Earth. Normally, the moon takes around 27 days to rotate on its axis.
How is rotation and revaluation the same?
It's not the same Revoluation is when the earth rotates and the sun rotates around the earth and then the moon moves with it. Rotation is when just the earth moves.
What power do Earth movements have?
The Earth is a planet that rotates around the sun the solar system. The earthÕs moves on an axis and it moves eastward at a steady pace around the sun. The earth is self has power movement of plates which over thousands of years has created what we know of as our continents.
Understanding the complete surface of mercury is difficult why?
Because its orbit around the sun is so elliptical and it moves quickly. This is why until the messenger spacecraft went into orbit around it three months ago, there were no complete maps of this planet.
