All the time. There is some part of the planet which is always facing the sun and getting light from it.
Yes. All planets in the solar system receive light from the sun.
It does get sun but not as much as mercury and Venus
Mercury's bright sunlight is due to its close proximity to the Sun, which allows it to receive intense sunlight that is reflected off its surface. Additionally, Mercury's lack of a significant atmosphere means that there is no scattering of light to diminish its brightness.
Mercury shines by reflecting light from just one single star: our Sun.
The mean distance from Mercury to the Sun is 58 million km, or approximately 3.2 light-minutes. It takes the Sun's light from 2 1/2 to 3 3/4 minutes to reach Mercury. The orbit of Mercury varies from 28,583,820 miles (46,001,200 km, 0.307499 AU) to 42,760,839 miles (68,816,900km, 0.466697 AU)
Mercury
mercury gets about 1 whole earth days
from the sun
Mercury has the smallest orbit. It orbits the closest of all the planets to the sun.
Mercury has no light of it's own, but it does reflect sunlight. That is how we can see it in the morning and evenings low on the horizon.
from the sun i'd imagine
