Mercury is cited as being 36,000,000 miles from the Sun. If you were traveling at the speed of a large commercial jet airliner (500 mi per hour) it would take you...
36,000,000 / 500 mi per hour = 72,000 hours or 3000 days or approximately 8 years 2 months and 2 weeks to get to the Sun
Cool huh?
It will posibly take about 2 years to get to the sun from mercury.
That would depend on where Earth and Mercury were on their particular orbits of the Sun. Assuming they were at their closest conjunction as Mercury is 57.91 million km from the Sun and Earth is 149.6 million km from the Sun, the distance between them will be 91.69 km. So at a speed of 1 million km/hour it would take you 91.69 hours to reach Mercury From Earth.
It takes Mercury considerably more time than that to complete an orbit (if Mercury were moving that fast, it would be orbiting around the sun significantly more rapidly than the sun itself spins).Mercury's "year" is approximately 88 Earth days long.
The Sun doesn't revolve around Mercury, Mercury revolves around the Sun. For Mercury to revolve around the Sun, it takes 88 Earth days.
The orbit is approx 364 million km in length.
it takes mercury 88 earth days to revolve around the sun
Do you mean how long does it take Mercury to orbit the sun ? 87.969 days
it would take 88 earth days to orbit the sun so it is 1/4 earth years.
Mercury's orbit of the sun takes 87.969 days.
It will posibly take about 2 years to get to the sun from mercury.
Mercury orbits the sun not the Earth
About 88 Earth days.
88 days

Mercury is the closest planet to the sun thus Mercury has the shortest orbit duration. It takes the planet Mercury 88 days to rotate around the sun.
That would depend on where you're coming from. If you started at the sun, the trip would average 3minutes 13seconds.
87.9691 Earth days.
