It takes about 58.6 Earth days. Mercury spins 3 times on its axis for every two revolutions around the Sun. A sidereal day on Mercury is 58.6 Earth days, at a slow equatorial rotation speed of only 10.89 km/hr.
This results in a "solar day" (time between consecutive noontimes) of two Mercury years, or 176 Earth days.
A Mercurian "day" the (time it takes it go spin once on it's axis) is equal to 58.65 earth days. Mercury turns on it's axis very, very slowly.
It takes Mercury about 59 Earth days to complete one full rotation on its axis. This means that a day on Mercury (one full rotation) is equivalent to 59 Earth days.
how long does it take for Mercury to rotate on its own axis IN ONE DAY
Mercury takes about 58.6 Earth days to complete one rotation on its axis. This is known as a "solar day" on Mercury.
Mercury does not spin as fast as Earth, so a Mercurian day (the time it takes a planet to rotate once) is 59 Earth days.
It takes Mercury much longer than planet Earth to make a complete spin on its axis. Mercury rotates once every 1407 hours or 58 days.
A Mercurian "day" the (time it takes it go spin once on it's axis) is equal to 58.65 earth days. Mercury turns on it's axis very, very slowly.
It takes Mercury about 59 Earth days to complete one full rotation on its axis. This means that a day on Mercury (one full rotation) is equivalent to 59 Earth days.
it takes Mercury 1368936475.26579980 days.
