Mercury completes its rotation on its axis in about 59 Earth days. This slow rotation is combined with its orbital period around the Sun, which takes approximately 88 Earth days, resulting in a unique day-night cycle on the planet. As a result, a single day on Mercury (from one sunrise to the next) is about 176 Earth days long.

It takes Mercury 58.65 earth days day to rotate so that would probly be the closest to 59-60 earth days
Mercury completes its rotation on its axis in about 59 Earth days. Despite its slow rotation, it has a unique orbital pattern due to its elliptical orbit, resulting in a day-night cycle that is significantly longer than its year, which lasts about 88 Earth days. This means that a single day on Mercury (from one sunrise to the next) actually takes about 176 Earth days.
No. The moon rotates much slower than Earth. Earth completes a rotation once every days. The moon completes a rotation once every 27 days.
Mercury and Venus both have shorter years than Earth does. They are closer to the sun and the orbit is shorter than Earth's.

Rotation means the planet spinning about it axis. (Orbit the the path of the planet round the Sun). The planet Mercury has a rotational period of 58.646 Earth days. The planet Venus has a (retrograde) rotational period of 243.0185 Earth days. The planet Mars has a rotational period of 1.025957 Earth days. The planet Jupiter has a rotational period of 9.925 hours. Obviously Earth has a rotational period of 1 Earth day.
No. The moon rotates much slower than Earth. Earth completes a rotation once every days. The moon completes a rotation once every 27 days.
Depends on what planet you're talking about. Venus has a rotation of 243 Earth days in a day, and 225 Earth days in a year.
It takes Pluto 6.4 earth days to complete one rotation.
The planet Mercury completes one revolution in its orbit around the Sun in about 88 Earth days (87.969 days, to be more exact). This is about 0.241 Earth years.
Venus
No planet has a revolution and rotation that takes 27 days. The Moon rotates once every 27 days and revolves around the Earth once every 27 days.
Mercury and Venus both have shorter years than Earth does. They are closer to the sun and the orbit is shorter than Earth's.
Venus' period of rotation is 243 Earth days. Its period of revolution is 224. 7 Earth days. The revolution period is the length of a year in Earth days on Venus. This planet is a terrestrial planet.
