Unlike "day" and "year", the concept of a month can't easily be used for other planets. On Earth, it descended from cycles of the Moon and Sun specific to Earth.

The year on Mercury is about 88 Earth days. So the month (as 1/12 year) would be about seven Earth days or about one of our weeks. But at the same time. a rotational day on Mercury is about 59 Earth days, and a solar day is 176 Earth days, so you would be defining a month as only a fraction of a day.
