Mercury The Planet Where a Day Is Longer Than a Year - Facts with Neil

Mercury races around the Sun in just 88 Earth days, giving it the shortest year of any planet. But here’s the twist: a single Mercurian solar day—from one sunrise to the next—takes 176 Earth days.

That means if you were standing on Mercury, the Sun would take two full Mercurian years to move once across the sky. On this strange little world, a day lasts longer than a year, thanks to its unusual spin-orbit resonance and slow rotation.
