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.
However, itâs proximity to the Sun means that its average orbital velocity is a speedy 47.362 kilometers a second or 29.429 miles per second â approximately 170,500 km/h; 105,945 mph. At this rate, it takes Mercury 87.969 days, or the equivalent of 0.24 Earth years, to complete a single orbit of the Sun. Thus, it can be said that a year on Mercury lasts almost as long as 3 months here on Earth. Sidereal and Solar Day:
