How does mercury orbit around the sun compare to its rotation on its axis?
Mercury's orbit around the Sun takes around 88 Earth days, while its rotation on its axis takes about 59 Earth days. This means that Mercury has a longer day (rotation) than year (orbit) – it completes just over 1.5 rotations for every orbit around the Sun.
What is the nickname for mercury and why?
Mercury is known as the "Swift Planet" because it moves quickly across the sky, completing an orbit around the Sun in just 88 Earth days.
What does Mercury orbit around?
I think that it is the Sun because everything in our solar system, which is the Milky Way, revolves around the Sun.
The planet whose orbit has the largest tilt from the ecliptic plane is?
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.
Which planet takes the least time to revolve around the sun?
mercury, it only takes 88 days. The closer the planet is to the parent star (sun in our case) the less time it takes to complete one orbit. Mercury is the closest planet to the sun and the planet to take the shortest time to orbit it.

What is the time taken by mercury to complete an orbit around the sun?
Mercury takes 87.969 days to orbit the sun.
Which planet has the shortest orbit around the sun?
Mercury, because it is the closest to the sun. Mercury takes 88 days to orbit the sun.
What is the orbit distance of mercury?
Mercury's orbit around the sun is approx 364 million km long.
How many days does it take to orbit Mercury?
Mercury is the closest planet to the sun and it is the fastest to orbit the sun. It takes 88 days for the Mercury to completely orbit the sun.

What happeneds if Mercury passes the sun?
Mercury travels in a 'circular' orbit around the Sun, just as the Earth does. How can it pass the Sun? If you mean leave it's orbit, the Sun's gravity will pull Mercury in and 'melt it.
