Mercury has a "solar day" of about 176 Earth days.

Also, Mercury has almost no axial tilt.

So, almost everywhere on Mercury should have roughly 88 Earth days of daylight followed by the same amount of night.

(There are some small complications caused by the fairly high eccentricity of Mercury's orbit around the Sun.)
