88 days
It takes about 59 Earth days (58.66 days) for Mercury to make one rotation.However, its "day" is extended due to the extremely short orbital period of 88 Earth days : a "sunrise to sunrise" solar day is 176 Earth days long (2 Mercury years).This is the source of the saying "On Mercury, a day is twice as long as a year."
