Mercury's Orbital Characteristics
http://www.windows2universe.org
At nearly 112,000 mph Mercury goes around the sun every 88 Earth days going faster than any other planet. Its oval-shaped orbit is highly elliptical, taking Mercury as close as 29 million miles and as far as 43 million miles from the sun. If you were standing on Mercury, the Sun would look three times larger than it actually is on Earth. Mercury rotates on its axis in 59 Earth days, which makes its days 1,416 hours long.
