It depends on where you're standing on the planet.

None - if you're standing on the poles : the Sun always remains on the horizon.

Twice - if you're standing near the 90° meridians (east and west), and other meridians too at high latitude.

Once - elsewhere.

On which planet would the time between sunrise and sunset be the shortest?

The time between sunrise and sunset would be shortest on planet Mercury. This is because Mercury has a very short rotation period, completing one rotation on its axis in just about 59 Earth days; resulting in a relatively short day and fast movement around the sun leading to quick sunrises and sunsets.


Does Venus have no sunrise?

Venus has perpetual very thick cloud layers, so on the surface there would be no visible sunrise. If the clouds were somehow removed, then there would be a sunrise, but because Venus rotates so slowly (and in the wrong direction) it would be a bit different than an Earthly sunrise.


When heated mercury oxide produces oxygen plus mercury what would be the combined mass of oxygen and mercury if 20g of mercury oxide were heated?

If 20g of mercury oxide were heated, the combined mass of oxygen and mercury would be 20 grams.


What color is Mercurys sky?

The sky on Mercury appears black during the day due to the lack of significant atmosphere to scatter sunlight and create the typical blue color we see on Earth. At sunrise and sunset, the sky can take on a bluish hue due to the scattering of light by the dust and gas in Mercury's thin atmosphere.


What would happen if Mercury hit Earth?

Due to the close proximity of mercury to the sun, we would all be burned up. Also in the process of the Earth moving to Mercury's position, a geographical disaster would occur due to the stress the planet would be under.

What is a day on Mercury?

The sidereal rotation period (e.g day) of Mercury is 58.646 days.Mercury's orbital period (e.g Year) is 87.969 days.The combination of this rotation (spinning) and its orbital motion is that the "solar day" on Mercury (sunrise to sunrise) would be about 176 Earth days, and the Sun would not appear to move at a constant rate across the Mercury sky.See related link for more information.58 days and 19 hoursthe length of one day on mercury is 58.646 earth days


Which planet would the time between sunrise and sunset be shortest?

The time between sunrise and sunset would be shortest on Mercury. This is because Mercury has a slow rotation period compared to its orbit around the sun, resulting in longer days and shorter intervals between sunrise and sunset.


Which two elements occur in a nature as liquid?

Two elements that commonly occur in nature as liquids are mercury and bromine. Mercury is a naturally occurring liquid metal, while bromine is a non-metallic element that exists as a liquid at room temperature.

What planet would you have 2 birthdays on the same day?

Mercury's year is 88 Earth days. Its tilt is such that for one orbit around the sun (88 Earth days) one side is always in light. For the following entire orbit (88 Earth days) that side would be darkness (night). So in two Mercurian years (two orbits), there is only one day (sunrise to sunrise). Thus it is on MERCURY that you have two birthdays in one single day.

Why does neither Venus nor Mercury appear high in the night sky?

Both Mercury and Venus orbit close to the Sun (relative to us and the other planets) therefore they would only be visible close to the Sun. This means that Venus and Mercury will only be seen after sunset (and then set) or after sunrise (and then be out-shined by the Sun)


What planets have morning and evening stars?

Earth and Venus. From Earth Venus and Mercury are planets visible as "morning" and "evening" stars. From Venus, Mercury would appear in the morning and evening sky. From Mars I would expect Earth, Venus, and Mercury to all be morning and evening "stars."


Where would you look to see the sunrise?
