SOLAR SYSTEM

Detailed explanation-1: -It speeds around the Sun every 88 days, traveling through space at nearly 29 miles (47 kilometers) per second, faster than any other planet. Mercury spins slowly on its axis and completes one rotation every 59 Earth days.

Detailed explanation-2: -A year on Mercury is about 88 Earth days long. Mercury has the shortest year of any planet in the Solar System.

Detailed explanation-3: -It only takes 88 days for Mercury to orbit around the sun. No other planet travels around the sun faster.

Detailed explanation-4: -It revolves around the Sun every 88 days, but its rotation takes nearly 59 days. Therefore Mercury completes three rotations for every two orbits around the Sun. Mercury is one of only three planets in our solar system which has a perfect circular sphere (the other two being Venus and Pluto).

Detailed explanation-5: -Due to the fact that Mercury is so close to the Sun, it only takes 88 days to orbit the Sun, much shorter than the 365 days it takes the Earth to orbit fully around the Sun!
