Which inner planet has the shortest day?

Answer 1

Of the four inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars), the day on Earth is the shortest at 23.93 Earth hours, slightly less than Mars at 24.57 Earth hours.

The day on Venus is over 243 Earth days, and on Mercury it is almost 59 Earth days.

Answer 2

revolution = year

planets revolve around the sun, and rotate on an axis.

hence, shortest revolution is Mercury with 88hrs.
Someone already asked this question (many times), and the answer is Jupiter. That has a day equivalent to about 9.84 Earth hours.

Jupiter has the shortest "day" (period of rotation) of about 9h, 55m, 50s.

However, Mercury had the shortest "year" (revolutionaround the Sun) of about 87.97 Earth days.

Answer 3

if you are talking about the shortest orbit, that would be Mercury which orbits the sun every 88 days.

if you are talking about the shortest day, it would be earth. A day on Mars is slightly longer then 1 Earth Day, on Mercury is almost 60 earth days, and on Venus is about 243 earth days

The shortest day in the entire solar system would be Jupiter, at 9.8 hours, though it is one of the outer planets.

Answer 4

The planet with the shortest period of revolution is the planet that is the closest to the sun. This planet is Mercury, with only 88 days in its revolution or yearly period.

Answer 5

Mercury has the shortest day among the inner planets. It takes about 59 Earth days for Mercury to complete one rotation on its axis.
