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: -The Earth orbits the Sun at a speed of around 30 kilometres per second! It takes the Earth 365-and-a-quarter days to go all the way around the Sun once. One year is 365 days, so every four years we add up the extra four quarters to make one extra day. That year has 366 days.
Detailed explanation-3: -It takes approximately 365.25 days for Earth to orbit the Sun-a solar year. We usually round the days in a calendar year to 365. To make up for the missing partial day, we add one day to our calendar approximately every four years. That is a leap year.
Detailed explanation-4: -A year on Earth is approximately 365 days. Why is that considered a year? Well, 365 days is about how long it takes for Earth to orbit all the way around the Sun one time.
