because that's how slow it turns on its axis
Mercury's period of revolution around the Sun is about 88 Earth days.
For the 8 major planets, the length of the year (period of revolution) in Earth time: Mercury = 88 days (0.25 Earth years) - 2.9 months Venus = 224.7 days (0.67 Earth years) - 7.4 months Earth = 365.25 days (1 Earth year) - 12 months Mars = 687 days (1.88 Earth years) - 1 year, 2.5 months Jupiter = 4332.6 days (11.86 Earth years) - 11 years, 10.3 months Saturn = 10759 days (29.46 Earth years) - 29 years 5.5 months Uranus = 30799 days (84.3 Earth years) - 84 years, 3.6 months Neptune = 60190 days (164.8 Earth years) - 164 years, 9.6 months
It will take 687 earth days, therefore 16488 months.
