it takes longer then a year..
The same direction that the Earth rotates around its axis.
Mercury is the fastest moving planet around the sun. It is second slowest to rotate about its axis, Venus being the slowest.
It takes Mercury just over 58 days to rotate on it's axis and 88 days to orbit the Sun
An artificial satellite can rotate on its own axis in a motion known as spin stabilization. This rotation helps to control its orientation in space. In addition to rotating on its own axis, the satellite also orbits, or revolves, around the planet it is orbiting.
Polaris is a star, and it doesn't revolve around any planets. It is possible that other planets revolve around Polaris, but so far I'm not aware that anyone has looked.
Because it is the closest to the sun
The same direction that the Earth rotates around its axis.
mercury, it only takes 88 days. The closer the planet is to the parent star (sun in our case) the less time it takes to complete one orbit. Mercury is the closest planet to the sun and the planet to take the shortest time to orbit it.
It means to revolve around the sun and rotate on its axis
Every single planet but Mercury
Mercury is the fastest moving planet around the sun. It is second slowest to rotate about its axis, Venus being the slowest.
It takes Mercury 1407.6 Earth hours to make one full rotation around its axis.
Neptune
It takes Mercury just over 58 days to rotate on it's axis and 88 days to orbit the Sun
The question is inconsistent. Rotation is the period a planet or moon rotates about its own axis. Revolution is the period a planet or moon revolves about its parent planet or sun. Mercury takes 88 Earth days to revolve about the Sun. It takes 59 Earth days to rotate about its own axis.
An artificial satellite can rotate on its own axis in a motion known as spin stabilization. This rotation helps to control its orientation in space. In addition to rotating on its own axis, the satellite also orbits, or revolves, around the planet it is orbiting.
Yes it does. It takes 25.05 earth days to revolve on its axis once.
