Orbital period is the <span> time taken for a given object to make one complete </span>orbit around another object. Mercury orbits the Sun in 88 days. Therefore, Mercury's orbital period is calculated by (88/365.25) or .241 Earth years. Hope this answers the question.

Orbital period of mercury can be calculated using the third law of Kepler which states that period squared equals to distance cubed, that is, (T1/T2)^2 = (a1/a2)^3 Where T1 is the orbital period of mercury, T2 is the earth orbital period and is equal to 1 year, that is, 365.25 days. a1 is the mercury axis and is equal to 0.39AU while a2 is the earth axis and is equal to 1AU. T^2 = (0.39)^3 = 0.059319 Therefore, T1 = 88 days.

Do you think geothermal energy is a renewable resource? Why or why not? What are the benefits of using this energy to power home
Keith_Richards [23]
Geothermal is a renewable energy, because it is from the heat produced by the earth. The earth gets heat from the sun, which will be there for the next million of years. Geothermal has benefits, because if we harness the use of it, instead of mining out all of our coal and oil, we can use this for a long run, and only leave non-renewable energy resources for backup. However, there are consequences to communities and surroundings. The geothermal only benefits when the earth is warm. When the earth becomes too warm, we wouldn't even need the energy anymore cuz everythings dead. So we can use this, but overall we must try to lower the amount of resources that produce this thing as possible.. ( use other renewable energy)
