his orbit may be fast, but one of Mercury's days is ~60 of Earth's. Venus is worse, his day is longer than his year, but at least he faced the camera. (243 Earth days a day vs 224 Earth days a year)

Pluto space photographer here: I asked very very politely. Also, they're not facing the same direction. Mercury is looking at Sun, he's takes a while to rotate.

(1/2) Yes, it does become complicated when determining what factors define a "planet." I do have my issues with the IAU. What we don't need is some "Pluto Killer" clown with an agenda trying to line his pockets.

(2/2) If Pluto isn't considered a planet, someone else could argue that Mercury & Venus shouldn’t be planets either, since they don't have moons. Some top NASA officials want Pluto reinstated, but the IAU disagrees. Hopefully, much smarter people than me can come to a mutual agreement in the future.

Why isn't a day on Earth 24 hours? I've got an animation for that too: bsky.app/profile/inte...
What's a Sidereal day? Earth completes one full rotation relative to distant stars in 23 hours 56 minutes—this is a Sidereal Day. But, because of Earth's orbital motion, the Sun appears to shift position each day. To align with the Sun again, Earth needs an extra 4 mins, making a Solar Day 24 hours:
