Vikki [24]3 years ago

Mercury is the smallest planet of the eight planets and is made up of rock and metal. One year on Mercury is only 88 Earth days. That's how long it takes for Mercury to orbit the sun. Mercury rotates very slowly, so its days are very long. A day on Mercury is 59 Earth days.

That is called the "Revolution Period of a planet" and one year on mercury equals to 88 days as compared to Earth

In short, Your Answer would be 88

Hope this helps!

Why it is easier to remove a 2p electron from an oxygen atom than from a nitrogen atom?
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

The electrons in oxygen are paired while in nitrogen, they are not.

Explanation:

To analyse this we start with writing out the ground state electronic configurations for both elements.

Oxygen: 1s²2s²2p4 meaning the p subshell has the following arrangement of electrons                  ↑↓   ↑   ↑

Nitrogen : 1s²2s²2p³ meaning the p subshell has the following arrangement of electrons  ↑    ↑    ↑

Clearly the paired electron in oxygen will be experiencing repulsion from the electron it shares an orbital with causing it to be removed easily. The electrons in nitrogen are unpaired, each orbital is singly occupied

The difference in the composition of the terrestrial planets and the gas giants can be explained by the different condensation
miv72 [106K]
The inner planets are usually rocky because the gravitational pull is stronger closer to the star or in this case the sun. The dust and rocky particles that are left over after a super nova or in a nebula will tend to orbit closer to a proto-star when a solar system is in its early days. In our solar system these planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. Gases are less dense and will be less affected by the pull of gravity because rocky particles have more mass. The outer planets are gas giants formed from clouds of gas that would be further out in the spinning disk around a proto-star.
