It sounds complex! It sort of is. Mercury revolves around the sun very quickly, but rotates around its own axis very, very slowly. One day on Mercury (sunrise to sunrise) is longer than one year on Mercury (one orbit around the Sun)!
Mercurian Day: A day on Mercury equals 176 Earth days (from sunrise to sunrise, or the equivalent of a 24 hour day on Earth). It is daytime for one Mercurian year, and nighttime for one Mercurian year. (It used to be thought that Mercury always kept the same side side towards the sun, but this is not true.)
Mercurian Year: A year on Mercury equals 87.97 Earth days; it takes 87.97 Earth days for Mercury to orbit the sun once.
