69.8636 + 145.9276 = 215.7912 Earth days.
Mercury’s SYNODIC Rotation Period is calculated thus:-
Mercury’s rotation period (ie:- its SIDEREAL Rotation Period) = 58.6462 Earth days.
Earth’s orbital period = 365.256 Earth days.
1 ÷ [(1 ÷ 58.6462) MINUS (1 ÷ 365.256)] = 69.8636 Earth days.
Venus’ SYNODIC Rotation Period is calculated thus:-
Venus’ rotation period (ie:- its SIDEREAL Rotation Period) = 243.0187 Earth days.
Earth’s orbital period = 365.256 Earth days.
1 ÷ [(1 ÷ 243.0187) PLUS (1 ÷ 365.256)] = 145.9276 Earth days. (Note:- The PLUS is because Venus has RETROGRADE Rotation. For fuller explanation, see below)
69.8636 + 145.9276 = 215.7912 Earth days.

PROGRADE Rotation means rotating in the “right” or “correct” direction (ie:- in the same direction as Earth). RETROGRADE Rotation means rotating in the “wrong” direction. Three planets have RETROGRADE Rotation, ie:- Venus, Uranus, and Pluto. You can check this by clicking on the following link and looking at the Rotation Period column entitled (P Rotation (days)). If you see the letter R directly preceding the planet’s rotation period, then the letter R stands for RETROGRADE.
