Mercury's year lasts only 88 Earth days because it is much closer to the Sun, resulting in a shorter orbital path. The strength of the Sun's gravitational pull at this closer distance causes Mercury to travel faster in its orbit compared to Earth. In contrast, Earth's larger orbit and greater distance from the Sun require more time to complete a full revolution, resulting in a year lasting 365 days.
