Sometimes the words 'revolution' and 'rotation' are used in different ways; 'revolution' might sometimes be used to refer to the spin of the earth on its axis. It is probably clearer to have a standard understanding of the words to avoid confusion. Rotation refers to the day-night producing spin of the planet on its axis, and revolution normally refers to the orbital movement of the planet around the sun. The earth does complete one full [sidereal] rotation in just a little under 24 hours. The time is close to 23 hours 56 minutes 4.1 seconds.
