This depends on the season. Today is September 7, 2009, so here in the northern hemisphere (I live near Sacramento, California) the Sun rises a little later and sets a little earlier each day. It will continue this way, with the days getting a little shorter each daym until December 21, the winter solstice.
After December 21, which is the shortest day of the year, the Sun will begin to rise a bit earlier and set a little later each day until the summer solstice on June 21.
In the Southern Hemisphere, the seasons are reversed, so in September the sun rises earlier and sets later each day, and will until their summer solstice, which will be December 21.

How long does one mercury day take?
58.65 Earth daysIt depends. The orbit of mercury is very elliptical. this means that at times in it's orbit is is going faster (and nearer) the Sun than at other times. This changing speed means that when Mercury is closest to the Sun it is moving faster than it is rotating. This leads to an interesting phenominon.From a certain point on Mercury you would see the Sun rise in the east, apear to slow down and then go backwards and set again in the east. Only to rise in the east again move across the sky and set in the west. All in one day. Elsewhere on Mercury you would see the Sun set in the west and then rise from the west,then set again or you would see it rise in the east, change direction twice, and the set in the west.
