Description: The time between consecutive conjunctions of Earth and Mercury is 116 days. As is typical of synodic periods for all planets, the location of Earth is different at the beginning and end of the period. You can visualize the synodic periods of the outer planets by putting Earth in Mercury’s place in this figure and putting one of the outer planets in Earth’s place.
