Asked by admin @ in Geography viewed by 373 People


Choose the statement that correctly describes the rotation and revolution of Mercury. For every three Mercury years, there are two Mercury days. This is due to its eccentric orbit and proximity to the Sun. Mercury's rotational period lasts about 58 Earth days and its orbital period lasts about 87 Earth days. This is due to its eccentric orbit and proximity to the Sun. Mercury's rotational period is about 87 Earth days and its orbital period is about 58 Earth days. This is due to the gravitational influence of Venus and Earth. Mercury's rotational period is about 58 Earth days and its orbital period is about 87 Earth days. This is due to the gravitational influence of Venus and Earth.

Answer: The statement that correctly describes the rotation and revolution of Mercury is that

"Mercury's rotational period lasts about 58 Earth days and its orbital period lasts about 87 Earth days. This is due to its eccentric orbit and proximity to the Sun".

Explanation: Mercury is the smallest planet among all plants in the solar system. It revolve the sun in 87earth days and rotate round it's orbit in 58 earth days. This means that Mercury revolve more faster round the sun than its rotation.

Mercury is proximity to the sun. This means that Mercury can only be seen near the western horizon after sunset or eastern horizon before sunrises. This is why it can revolve round the sun more faster.

The eccentric orbit of the Mercury makes it rotational movement very slow.
