Athletic shoes, purses, electronics, perfumes and even art work can be found at bargain basement prices. Unfortunately, many of these goods are fake, counterfeit or knock-offs.. For the buyers, there's no real bargain. And for the sellers, there's a possibility of jail time and hefty fines if they're caught.
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.
The planet Mercury revolves around the sun in about 88 earth days. It rotates once about every 59 earth days. So, there is about one and one third Mercurian days per Mercurian year. Apparently Mercury's rotation is in a semi-synchronous mode with respect to it's revolution...it rotates 2/3 of a time each Mercurian year.
