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.
Mercury is the closest planet to our Sun, ranging from 46,001,200 km at perihelion (closest to the Sun) to 69,816,900 km at aphelion (farthest). Since it takes 58.646 Earth days for Mercury to rotate once on its axis â aka. its sidereal rotation period â this means that it takes just over 58 Earth days for Mercury to experience a single day.
