I am really struggling with this question because I can't find anything on aphelion and perihelion, it's not a topic we went ove
Hoochie [10]

I have a strange hunch that there's some more material or previous work
that goes along with this question, which you haven't included here.

I can't easily find the dates of Mercury's extremes, but here's some of the
other data you're looking for:

Distance at Aphelion (point in it's orbit that's farthest from the sun):
<span><span><span><span><span>69,816,900 km
0. 466 697 AU</span>

</span> </span> </span> <span> Distance at Perihelion (</span></span><span>point in it's orbit that's closest to the sun):</span>
<span><span><span><span>46,001,200 km
0.307 499 AU</span> </span>

Perihelion and aphelion are always directly opposite each other in
the orbit, so the time between them is  1/2  of the orbital period.

</span><span>Mercury's Orbital period = <span><span>87.9691 Earth days</span></span></span></span>

1/2 (50%) of that is  43.9845  Earth days

The average of the aphelion and perihelion distances is

     1/2 ( 69,816,900 + 46,001,200 ) = 57,909,050 km
or
     1/2 ( 0.466697 + 0.307499) = 0.387 098  AU
 
This also happens to be 1/2 of the major axis of the elliptical orbit.
