All the planets revolve around the Sun in the same direction. As seen from a position arbitrarily "above" the plane of the planetary orbits (i.e. above Earth's North Pole), the planets orbit counter-clockwise.

How does mercury orbit around the sun compare to its rotation on its axis?

Mercury's orbit around the Sun takes around 88 Earth days, while its rotation on its axis takes about 59 Earth days. This means that Mercury has a longer day (rotation) than year (orbit) – it completes just over 1.5 rotations for every orbit around the Sun.

What planet requires 59-60 earth days to complete one rotation on its axis?

The planet that requires 59-60 Earth days to complete one rotation on its axis is Mercury. Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun and has a slow rotation speed compared to its orbit around the Sun, resulting in a longer day-night cycle. This is due to its proximity to the Sun, which causes gravitational forces to affect its rotation.


How long is a one day rotation for mercury?

Mercury takes about 59 Earth days to complete one rotation on its axis. This is longer than its orbital period around the sun, which is about 88 Earth days.


Rotation time for mercury?

One complete rotation for the planet Mars equals to 59 Earth days. It will also orbits around the Sun only once.


What planet does it take 88 days in earth days to rotate around the planet?

The question is inconsistent. Rotation is the period a planet or moon rotates about its own axis. Revolution is the period a planet or moon revolves about its parent planet or sun. Mercury takes 88 Earth days to revolve about the Sun. It takes 59 Earth days to rotate about its own axis.
