Due to its proximity to the Sun, Mercury' orbit is smallest. That is why Mercury takes only 88 Earth days to complete one revolution. Mercury takes around 59 Earth days to complete one rotation. However, the length of the day on Mercury (sunrise to sunrise) is 176 Earth days. Also, Venus is the planet with the longest rotation period i.e. 243 Earth days.
