The âsiderealâ (relative to the stars) rotation rate of Mercury is 59 Earth days. If we could somehow watch Mercury through a telescope from a distant star, we would see it rotate one time every 59 days.
It takes about 8 minutes for a ray of light from Sun to reach Earth. Since Mercury is close to the Sun, lets say 8 minutes at the speed of light to travel to Mercury from Earth The Sun is about 96 million miles from the Earth.
