What is the direction of mercury's rotation?
Mercury, just as Earth rotates alone its axis. The spin is from left to right along this axis with one rotation lasting nearly 176-days on Earth. Needless to say it is a very slow spin in comparison.
What is closer to the sun Mercury or earth?
Mercury is closer to the earth than the sun is, because the orbit of Mercury is between the sun and the orbit of Earth. However, when Mercury is on the opposite side of the sun from the earth, the sun is closer to the earth than Mercury is.
What is the distance from mercury to the earth and what is the distance from earth to mercury?
Depending on where Mercury is relative to the Earth as the two planets orbit the sun, the distance from Mercury to Earth varies from 77.3x106km and 221.9x106km.
What is the size comparison of Earth and Mercury?
Earth has 2.54 times the surface area of Mercury. Earth-12,756 km Mercury-4,880 km
What percent is mercury's gravity?
If you are referring to mass, then the percentage would be: Mercury = 0.330x1024kg Earth = 5.97 x1024kg Percentage = mercury/earth = 0.330x1024kg/5.97 x1024kg *100 = 5.5% If you are referring to diameter, the percentage would be: Mercury = 4879km Earth = 12,756km Percentage = mercury/earth = 4879km/12,756km *100 = 38.2%
Do all planets go in the same direction?
Venus rotates in the opposite direction from that of Mercury, Earth, and Mars.
Do all inner planets go in the same direction?
Venus rotates in the opposite direction from that of Mercury, Earth, and Mars.
What is mercury rotation direction?
earth is d only planet wid west to east rotation. so it is proved dat mercury rotates in east to west
How many rotations on mercury is 180 earth days?
The rotation period of Mercury is about 59 Earth Days (58.646 days).However, Mercury's orbit of the Sun takes just 88 Earth days, and the result is that the solar day (sunrise to sunrise) on Mercury is much longer. In fact, it is 176 Earth days, or twice the length of the year. The counterclockwise movement around the Sun is in the same direction as the planet turns, preventing the normal rotational day.

Distance of mercury in km from the earth?
Mercury is 57.9x106km from Earth.
What of earth's gravity does mercury have?
Mercury's gravity is 38% of that on Earth.
Is mercury bigger then or smaller then earth?
