Because Mercury is closer to the Sun and orbits a lot faster.
That's right and astronomers define a year as the time taken to orbit the Sun.
Shorter. Mercury has a shorter orbit than earth and 1 day in mercury = 59 days on Earth. 1 year on mercury= 88 days on earth.
Every planet's year is longer than 365 days except for Mercury and Venus. Earth's year is aproximately 365.25 days, people just combined them for an extra day every 4 years.
88 earth days
The Earth takes about 365 days (1 year) to orbit the sun.
One year on Mars is about 687 earth days compared to the the 365 days in a year on Earth.
Shorter. Mercury has a shorter orbit than earth and 1 day in mercury = 59 days on Earth. 1 year on mercury= 88 days on earth.
A year on Mercury is only 88 Earth days. Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun and has a very short orbital period, causing its year to be much shorter compared to Earth's year of 365 days.
Mercury orbits the Sun once in about 88 Earth days. That's Mercury's year. One year one Earth is about 365 days. So Earth's year is about 4 times longer.
A year on earth is 365 days. A year on Venus is 224.7 Earth days and a year on Mercury is 88 Earth days. A year on Mars is 687 Earth days and a year on Saturn is 29.7 Earth years long.
The length of a year for each planet increases as each planet is farther from the Sun. The lengths are: Mercury: 88 days, Venus: 225 days, Earth: 365 days, Mars: 687 days, Jupiter: 12 years, Saturn: 30 years, Uranus: 84 years and Neptune: 165 years.
Because Mercury orbits the Sun much faster than Earth. It takes Earth 365 days to orbit the sun once, but it only takes Mercury 88 days.
An Earth year is equivalent to one year on Earth, which is approximately 365 days.
A year for Mercury is 88 days. Earth's year is 365 days. The nine year old would have lived 3285 days on Earth. On Mercury, that would translate to 37.329 years for a nine year old earthling.
The year on the planet Mercury is very short. A year on this planet lasts 88 days compared to 365 days on Earth.
It takes roughly 365 days for the Earth to go around the Sun once. It takes 87.97 Earth days for Mercury to orbit the sun once.
365.14 earth days
Every planet's year is longer than 365 days except for Mercury and Venus. Earth's year is aproximately 365.25 days, people just combined them for an extra day every 4 years.
