it takes earth 24 hours to complete a full rotation. it take mercury approximately 58 day,15 hours, and 30 minutes to complete a full rotation. how many hours does it take mercury to complete a full rotation.
To calculate the number of hours it takes for Mercury to complete a full rotation, we can convert the given time of 58 days, 15 hours, and 30 minutes into hours.
Since there are 24 hours in a day, we multiply 58 days by 24 hours/day:
58 days * 24 hours/day = 1392 hours
Then we add the additional 15 hours and 30 minutes:
1392 hours + 15 hours + 30 minutes/60 minutes (to convert minutes to hours)
= 1392 hours + 15.5 hours
= 1407.5 hours
So, it takes approximately 1407.5 hours for Mercury to complete a full rotation.
