It really doesn't have deffonent direction because they are always moving. But it is NEVER sount because Mercury is in front of earth on the solar system.
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.
Earth has 2.54 times the surface area of Mercury. Earth-12,756 km Mercury-4,880 km
The gravity on Mercury is 38% of Earth's gravity. So, if you were 150mlbs on Earth, you would be 57 lbs on Mercury.
If you weigh 100lbs on Earth, you would weigh 37.8lbs on Mercury.
The gravity on Mercury is about 38% of Earth's gravity, which means that objects weigh less on Mercury compared to Earth. This is due to Mercury's smaller size and mass compared to Earth.
Venus rotates in the opposite direction from that of Mercury, Earth, and Mars.
Venus rotates in the opposite direction from that of Mercury, Earth, and Mars.
Mercury rotates on its axis in a retrograde direction, meaning it rotates in the opposite direction of its orbit around the Sun. This retrograde rotation is unique compared to most other planets in our solar system.
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 rotation period of Mercury is about 59 Earth Days (58.646 days).However, Mercury's orbit of the Sun takes just 88 Earth days, and the result is that the solar day (sunrise to sunrise) on Mercury is much longer. In fact, it is 176 Earth days, or twice the length of the year. The counterclockwise movement around the Sun is in the same direction as the planet turns, preventing the normal rotational day.
Mercury's diameter is about a third that of Earth.
Mercury is 57.9x106km from Earth.
mercury is smaller then earth
Mercury's gravity is 38% of that on Earth.
Earth > Venus > Mercury > Mars
