Why is the year length on Mercury different to that on Earth?

Answer 1

Cuz its at a different distance form the sun so it takes shorter for it to revolve.

Answer 2

Mercury's orbit is shorter because it is closer to the sun. A day would past faster than here on Earth so a year would also be shorter

Answer 3

it takes 365 for the earth to revolve around the sun and we call that a year. because mercury isnt the same distance from the sun that the earth is, the amount of time it takes for mercury to revolve around the sun (a year)is different from our year.

Answer 4

Mercury (IPA: /ˈmɝkjʊri/) is the innermost and smallest planet in the solar system, orbiting the Sun once every 88 days. It ranges in brightness from about −2.0 to 5.5 in apparent magnitude, but is not easily seen as its greatest angular separation from the Sun (greatest elongation) is only 28.3°. It can only be seen in morning or evening twilight.

Answer 5

because of the distance between the sun and Mercury is shorter then the distance between the sun and the earth

Answer 6

a year is the time it takes for a planet to revolve once around the sun

mercury is closer to the sun = shorter orbit = shorter year

Answer 7

because mercury is closer to the sun
less orbit time around sun
faster orbit = quicker year

Answer 8

Bigger orbit around Sun takes longer to complete.

Answer 9

murcury is closer to the sun to it takes a shorter time to revolve around the sun.

Answer 10

differant sizes of planets
