Detailed explanation-1: -Earth revolves around the sun in 365 days, 5 hours, 59 minutes and 16 seconds. The time a planet takes to revolve around the sun is called a year.
Detailed explanation-2: -We know the planet is rotating, though, because we see the effects of it every day. Earth makes one complete rotation on its axis every 23 hours and 56 minutes, which is rounded up to 24 hours.
Detailed explanation-3: -It takes Earth approximately 365 days and 6 hours to orbit the Sun. It takes Earth approximately 24 hours-1 day-to rotate on its axis. So, our year is not an exact number of days.
