it rotates slowly and orbits quickly.
No, orbit and rotation are not the same. Orbit is the path an object takes around another object in space, while rotation is the spinning of an object around its own axis. For example, the Earth orbits around the Sun and rotates on its axis.
Mercury takes approximately 59 Earth days to complete one full orbit around the Sun. This period is known as its orbital period or year.
It takes Mercury about 88 Earth days to complete one orbit around the Sun.
Uranus has the largest tilt of its axis of rotation compared to its orbit around the sun, at about 98 degrees. This means that its north pole can be pointing almost directly at the sun at certain points in its orbit.
It's Venus, not Mercury. Mercury spins slowly, but not in a retrograde rotation. Venus spins the opposite way from the other planets, except for one of the outer planets (Uranus).
It rotates slow but quicker on its axis
your are a nerd
Yes, it is
Yes, Mercury does rotate about its own axis. However, its rotation is unique in that it is in a 3:2 spin-orbit resonance, meaning it rotates on its axis three times for every two orbits around the Sun.
No, Jupiter has the fastest rotation and Mercury has the fastest orbit.
All the planets revolve around the Sun in the same direction. As seen from a position arbitrarily "above" the plane of the planetary orbits (i.e. above Earth's North Pole), the planets orbit counter-clockwise.
Mercury takes 59 days to rotate, and 88 days to orbit the Sun.
Mercury's period of revolution around the sun is about 88 Earth days, while Pluto's period is approximately 248 Earth years. The ratio between their periods of revolution is about 1:28. This difference is due to the much larger distance Pluto is from the sun compared to Mercury, causing it to take much longer to complete one orbit.

1. Rotation (earth rotates on it's axis) 2. Orbit (earth orbit's arount the sun)
Mercury does not have any rings.
