What is unique about Mercury a day?
Mercury rotates very slow. Its day equals 59 of our days. As a matter of fact, it's day is longer than its year.
Why is the length of a year in mercury much longer than a day in earth?
coz of how it obsorves with the sun
Do any planets have longer days or years?
No two planets in our solar system have the same length of day or length of year. Compared with Earth, these planets have longer years: Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune. These have much longer days than Earth: Mercury and Venus. Mars has a day that's slightly longer than Earth's day. Depending on the particular definition of "day" that is used, two planets have a day that's longer than than that planet's year. They are Mercury (solar day) and Venus (sidereal day).
What is a day longer than year?
Venus: Venus has a "sidereal" day (rotation period)that's longer than its "year" (orbital period).A siderealday on Venus is equal to about243 Earth days, whereas a year is about 224.7 Earth days.Mercury:It takes Mercury about58.64 Earth days to spin on its axis - which is one Mercury siderealday. However, the "solar " day on Mercury is about 176 Earth days long.It takes Mercury about87.96 Earth days to orbit the Sun, which is defined as one Mercury year.So, for Mercury it is thesolar day, not the sidereal day that is longer than its year.(A solar day on Earth is 24 hours. A sidereal day, which is how long it takes Earth to spin on its axis, is about 4 minutes shorter.A year on Earth is about365.25 days - which is how long it takes Earth to orbit the Sun.)
Why does Jupiter have a longer year then Mercury?
Jupiter has a longer year than mercury because it takes longer for it to revolve around the sun.
What planets days are longer than your year?
Venus "sidereal day" is longer than its year. Mercury's "solar day" is longer than its year. However, there is no planet in our solar system with a day longer than our year on Earth.
What planet has a year shorter than its day?
Mercury has a year that is shorter than its day. It takes Mercury about 88 Earth days to orbit the Sun, but it rotates on its axis so slowly that its day is much longer, lasting about 176 Earth days.
What is the length of the day and year on mercury and hours?
A day on Mercury, defined as one complete rotation on its axis, lasts about 59 Earth days. However, its year, which is the time it takes to orbit the Sun, is approximately 88 Earth days. This unique relationship means that a day on Mercury is longer than its year. Consequently, Mercury experiences a very slow rotation compared to its swift orbit around the Sun.
What is the planet that its year is longer than its day?
All planet's years are longer than their days except for Venus.You probably meant to ask which planet's day is longer than its year, and the answer is Venus.
Which planet has the longest cycle of day and night of the terrestrial planets?
Mercury has the longest cycle of day and night among the terrestrial planets. A day on Mercury lasts about 176 Earth days, which is longer than a year on Mercury. This is because Mercury rotates very slowly on its axis.
Would a mercury year be longer or shorter than a earth year?
Shorter. Mercury has a shorter orbit than earth and 1 day in mercury = 59 days on Earth. 1 year on mercury= 88 days on earth.
What causes a day to last longer on mercury than on earth?
A day is defined as 1 full rotation. So mercury rotates at a slower pace than earth.
