A day on Mercury, known as a sidereal day, lasts about 58.6 Earth days. However, due to its slow rotation and its orbit around the Sun, a solar day (the time from one sunrise to the next) lasts about 176 Earth days. This unique relationship between its rotation and orbit causes Mercury's days and nights to be extremely long.
