Answer Details
The planet with the shortest orbit around the sun is Mercury. It takes Mercury only about 88 Earth days to complete one orbit around the sun, making it the closest planet to the sun. Mercury's proximity to the sun also means it has a very hot surface temperature, with temperatures reaching up to 800 degrees Fahrenheit (430 degrees Celsius) during the day and dropping to -290 degrees Fahrenheit (-180 degrees Celsius) at night.
