Mercury circles the Sun in only 88 days, compared to 365 days for Earth, at at an average speed of 105,947 miles (170,505 kilometers) per hour. This is faster than any other planet in the Solar System.
This new study is also based on data from MESSENGER. It suggests that â when Mercury starts to revolve farther from the sun and the sun starts to slow Mercuryâs rotation â the planet rotates 460 meters (1,500 feet) short of its full rotation. Thatâs a distance equivalent to the height of the Empire State Building.
