Length of day and night on Mercury?
Mercury has a "solar day" of about 176 Earth days. Also, Mercury has almost no axial tilt. So, almost everywhere on Mercury should have roughly 88 Earth days of daylight followed by the same amount of night. (There are some small complications caused by the fairly high eccentricity of Mercury's orbit around the Sun.)

How many hours on mercury in a day?
A mercury day (sidereal rotation period) is 58.646 earth days = 1407.5 hours.
What is mercury's rotation in hours and minutes?
Mercury has a very strange behaviour. Its spin:orbit ratio is 3:2 and this means that one day on mercury last two mercury-years! This is equivalent to 176 days on earth.
Length of day mercury?
The length of day on Mercury is 58.646 Earth days. That's the rotation time, which is the sidereal day, but there's also the solar day. The solar day on Mercury is 176 Earth days.
What is mercury's solar day about?

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."
