HI - we know that the orbit of mercury precesses (I hope I am using the right terminology here). Which basically means that the orbit seems to undergo some sort of rotation in the ecliptic plane. Does this also mean that the period of Mercury's orbit as seen from the Earth is not uniform but changes with each orbit? (Please let me know if this question is clear enough, perhaps I am not expressing it well enough)
