How long is it to spin round 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.
What is one interesting feature of mercury?
Because of the periods of Mercury's orbit and spin, a year (complete orbit around the sun) on Mercury is about 88 Earth days long, while a day (time for the Sun to appear in the same place in the sky) is twice that length, at about 176 Earth days long.
How long does it take mercury to spin around its axis and how many earth days is that?
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.
Does planet mercury rotate about its own axis?
Yes, Mercury does rotate about its own axis. However, its rotation is unique in that it is in a 3:2 spin-orbit resonance, meaning it rotates on its axis three times for every two orbits around the Sun.
What is the direction of mercury's rotation?
Mercury, just as Earth rotates alone its axis. The spin is from left to right along this axis with one rotation lasting nearly 176-days on Earth. Needless to say it is a very slow spin in comparison.
How long does it take mercury to spin all the way around?
88 days
Why are there 24h in a day?
That's how long it takes the earth to spin around once fully.
How long is it to spin round 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.
How long does it take Mercury to spin in earth days?
The answer is 58.646 day.
Which planet takes longer than mercury to spin around its axis?
Every single planet but Mercury
How long does it take mercury to spin?
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.
Which planet takes longer to spin around than mercury?
Venus.
Which planet takes longer to spin around on its axis then Mercury?
Neptune
Does Mercury spin counterclockwise?
yes, mercury does spin counter clockwise.
What is one interesting feature of mercury?
Because of the periods of Mercury's orbit and spin, a year (complete orbit around the sun) on Mercury is about 88 Earth days long, while a day (time for the Sun to appear in the same place in the sky) is twice that length, at about 176 Earth days long.
What does it mean to say that mercury has a 3 2 spin orbit resonance?
Mercury is locked into a 3/2 spin-orbit resonance where it rotates three times on its axis for every two orbits around the sun
How long does it take Neptune to spin around sun?
362 days to spin losers
