Mercury's rotation period is 59 Earth days. Mercury is an inner planet that is also the closest to the sun. Mercury is a small planet with an equatorial diameter of 4,879 kilometers. Mercury's gravity is 38 percent that of the Earth's. Mercury does not have moons associated with it. However, it does have many craters as the result of collisions from asteroids and comets.
Earth's graceful 24-hour rotation rate is one of the traits that makes our planet so friendly to life, allowing most parts of Earth to stay a nice, comfortable temperature as they are bathed in sunlight during the day and darkness at night. Each planet in the solar system has its own unique rotation rate. Tiny Mercury, sizzling closest to the Sun, takes 59 Earth days to turn around just once. Venus, the second planet, rotates once every 243 Earth days. What's more, Venus rotates backwards from the direction of its orbit around the Sun, as do Uranus and tiny dwarf planet Pluto. Uranus even lies down on the job, rolling around with its axis of rotation pointed nearly toward the Sun.
