Mercury rotates in about 58.65 Earth days. This is called a "sidereal day".
Interestingly there is a big difference between the length of this "day" and
the "solar day"which is about 176 Earth days.
Anyway the reason for the slow rotation is the closeness to the Sun. Tidal
forces are responsible.
What else can I help you with?
Why does mercury's days last almost two earth months?

Is mars biggersmalleror the same size as earht?
Mars is smaller than the Earth, with about 38% of Earth's gravity and days which last about 24hrs 40mins.
Why is mercury's day equal to 59 earth days?
The gravity of the Sun has slowed the rotation of Mercury, so it takes almost 59 Earth days to spin once on its axis (58.646 days).At the same time, the relatively brief orbital period (Mercury year) is only 88 days long, even further reducing the apparent motion of the Sun as seen from the planet. A "solar day" (sunrise to sunrise) on Mercury lasts 176 Earth days, or twice as long as its year!

Why does mercury last almost 59 earth days?
That's technically the "sidereal day", the "solar day" is about 176 Earth days. Anyway it's the Sun's gravity that's responsible. Mercury is so close to the Sun that it experiences strong "tidal forces". It's like the Moon's slow rotation caused by the Earth.
