Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Thus earth takes one year to complete one revolution around the sun. One day is approximately 23 hours and 56 minutes and thus it takes 365 times one day to complete a revolution.
Detailed explanation-2: -There are 365 days in a year, plus one day added every four years during a leap year. So that comes to 365.25 rotations!
Detailed explanation-3: -So the Earth rotates around its axis as it revolves around the sun. It takes the Earth 365 days, or one year, to complete a revolution. Leftover momentum from when planets were forming makes the Earth, and all planets in the solar system, rotate and revolve.
