KIDS TRIVIA

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: -A day is the amount of time it takes a planet to finish one rotation on its axis. 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.

Detailed explanation-3: -So in one year, Earth travels about 584 million miles (940 million km). Since speed is equal to the distance traveled over the time taken, Earth’s speed is calculated by dividing 584 million miles (940 million km) by 365.25 days and dividing that result by 24 hours to get miles per hour or km per hour.

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.

Detailed explanation-5: -Earth takes 365 days to revolve around the Sun whereas, Mars takes 687 days to complete one revolution around the sun.
