Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Sentences: 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: -One rotation of the earth around the sun takes 365.24 days. One day on Earth is equivalent to one revolution of the earth on its own axis. On Earth, a whole day is precisely 23 hours, 56 minutes, and 4 seconds. As a result, it takes the earth this long to complete one rotation around its own axis.
Detailed explanation-3: -Earth takes about 365 1/4 days to revolve around the sun. As we take 365 days for a year, the difference of 1/4 of a day requires adjustment. This is why we add one day to February every four years.
