Detailed explanation-1: -It takes 24 hours(1 day) for the earth to complete one rotation. The earth rotates about an imaginary line that passes through the North and South Poles of the planet. This line is called the axis of rotation.
Detailed explanation-2: -Earth makes one complete rotation on its axis every 23 hours and 56 minutes, which is rounded up to 24 hours. Does this time sound familiar? The 24 hours that Earth takes to make one rotation is equal to one day.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Earth’s axis runs from the North Pole to the South Pole. It takes the Earth 24 hours, or one day, to make one complete rotation around this invisible line. As the Earth rotates, each area of its surface gets a turn to face and be warmed by the sun.
