Because of the periods of Mercury's orbit and spin, a year (complete orbit around the sun) on Mercury is about 88 Earth days long, while a day (time for the Sun to appear in the same place in the sky) is twice that length, at about 176 Earth days long.

What is one interesting site about Mercury?

One interesting site about Mercury is NASA's MESSENGER mission page, which details the spacecraft that orbited and studied the planet from 2011 to 2015. MESSENGER provided unprecedented insights into Mercury's geology, magnetic field, and exosphere, revealing that the planet has a surprisingly complex surface and a history shaped by volcanic activity. The mission's findings have significantly enhanced our understanding of Mercury's formation and its place in the solar system.

What are the longest features on mercury?

Mercury doesn't have many geographically distinct features but it does have a feature called the Caloris Basin. The Caloris Basin is one of the largest meteor impact basins in the Solar System. It measures at about 1,550 kilometers or 960 miles in diameter. Since the Caloris Basin is the largest feature on Mercury it is also it's longest.


Is there any interesting geological in mercury?

The crust of Mercury has been reheated and refrozen every two months for hundreds of millions of years. That should produce interesting geology, and the lack of erosive wind or water would preserve these. One feature observed closely by NASA's MESSENGER probe is the 1500-km-wide crater called the Caloris Basin. Radial fissures within the feature provide interesting clues to the underlying rock formations. (MESSENGER will map Mercury while orbiting the planet beginning in 2011.)
