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.

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.
Mercury, just as Earth rotates alone its axis. The spin is from left to right along this axis with one rotation lasting nearly 176-days on Earth. Needless to say it is a very slow spin in comparison.
The Sun doesn't revolve around Mercury, Mercury revolves around the Sun. For Mercury to revolve around the Sun, it takes 88 Earth days.
Rotation on its axis takes about 58.6 Earth days and revolution around the Sun takes about 88 Earth days.
No. Mercury has the shortest 'year'
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.
Mercury rotates very slowly at a rate of one rotation every 58.65 days. Mercury revolves around the sun once every 88 days.
it takes 88 days
It rotates slow but quicker on its axis
Mercury. As it is closest to the sun, it completes the fastest orbital rotation, in just 88 days.
The movement around the Sun is called "revolution", not "rotation". It takes Mercury 88 days for one revolution - almost three months.

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