One Earth Day is 24 hours long. One hour is 60 minutes long. One minute is 60 seconds long. So, we can figure out the value of 59 earth days by multiplying these increments by the correct conversion values. Our final value will be in units of seconds as the second is the SI unit of time.

59 earth days X 24 hours = 1416 hours

1416 hours X 60 minutes = 84960 minutes

84960 minutes X 60 seconds = 5097600 seconds

59 earth days = 1416 hours = 84960 minutes = 5097600 seconds

For reference, 60 seconds is the time it takes for the second hand, the fast moving hand, of a clock to make one full revolution, or for the last digit of a standard digital clock to change. A typical prime-time television show, like "The Office," lasts about 30 minutes including commercials, and two of these lasts an hour. That means that in 59 earth days, one could watch 2832 episodes of "The Office" with commercials, assuming they found a way to never sleep. A day is the time it takes for the earth to make one full revolution, which can be approximately measured by the time it takes for a viewer to observe the stars of the night sky in the same location two nights in a row.

Which planets day is half as long as its year?

Venus or Mercury, depending on the definition of "day" used. It takes Venus 243 Earth days to spin on its axis relative to the background stars (a "sidereal day"). It takes Venus 224.7 Earth days to orbit the Sun (its year). However, a "solar day" is only 116.75 Earth days long due to the combination of rotation time, orbit time and spin direction. (Venus spins in the other direction to Earth and most other planets.)Mercury has a "sidereal day" of about 58.6 Earth days and a year of about 88 Earth days.


Which planet has a day more than half as long as its year?

Mercury's "sidereal day" is about 59 Earth days long and its year is about 88 Earth days long. Venus has a "solar day" of about 117 Earth days and a year of about 225 Earth days.

What planet moves around the sun in elliptical orbit and rotates only once in 59 days?

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.


How long is a year on the moon compared to earth?

A year on the moon is about 27.3 Earth days long, as it takes that amount of time for the moon to complete one orbit around the Earth. This is shorter than a year on Earth, which is about 365.25 days long.

Does 59 earth days equals 1 day on mercury?

No, one day on Mercury is equal to about 59 Earth days. Mercury's slow rotation on its axis causes this long day length compared to Earth's 24-hour day.

How long does mercury take for it to rotate on its axis?

It takes about 59 Earth days (58.66 days) for Mercury to make one rotation.However, its "day" is extended due to the extremely short orbital period of 88 Earth days : a "sunrise to sunrise" solar day is 176 Earth days long (2 Mercury years).This is the source of the saying "On Mercury, a day is twice as long as a year."
