Can you show me a Diagram of Earth's rotation?

Answer 1

Day: 24 hours

Year 365.25 days

Time for our axis of revolution to precess once around the Sun: 26,000 years

You didn't ask about how long it takes our solar system to oscillate above and below the galactic plane, nor how long it takes our solar system to make it once around the center of the Milky Way.

Answer 2

With regard to astronomical objects, 'revolution' normally means one body's

process of traveling in a gravitational orbit around another one.

Examples:

-- revolution of the planets, including the Earth, around the sun

-- revolution of the natural satellites, including Earth's moon, around their respective planets

-- revolution of the artificial satellites, including the International Space Station and the

TV, GPS, and weather satellites, around the Earth

Answer 3

The revolution of the earth: A good way of thinking about it is a revolution = 1 year. Therefore, 1 revolution equals 1 year OR 365.25 days

Answer 4

A rotation is 24 hours=1 day

A revolution is 1 whole year=365 days

Answer 5

Rotation is the time the Earth rotates once around it's axis - Day

Revolution is the period it takes the Earth to revolve once around the Sun - Year

Answer 6

• rotation-Well some say its 24 hours but not really its actually 23 hours and 56 minutes...
• revolution-365 days

Answer 7

The path of the Earth around the sun is in the shape of an ellipse, which is very much like a circle only slightly flattened. You could draw a circle, that would be close enough.

Answer 8

The earth's revolution around the sun takes 365.24 days.

Answer 9

This is a statement. Wiki does not provide diagrams or pictures. Use your textbook.

Answer 10

3651/4 days. (rounded)
