It takes 23 hrs 56 min to rotate once relative to a distant object like a star. It takes an extra 4 minutes to rotate once relative to the Sun because we are also in an orbit round the Sun.
the night turns to day and day turns to night ============================== If you want to back away and take the long view ... EVERYTHING happens as the Earth rotates on its axis.
Ceres rotates on its axis with a period of about 9 hours.
Venus, which rotates backwards in comparison to Earth, takes 243 days to make a full rotation on its axis.
Mars does not rotate around the Earth. It rotates on its axis, and it revolves around the Sun, just as all the other planets do.
It takes about 84.3 Earth years to orbit the Sun. It rotates in about 17 hours and 14 minutes.
The planet rotates once about every 59 Earth days.i watch alot of science shows :)
Mercury rotates once in about 58.6 Earth days.
The moon has an axis, and as the moon orbits the Earth, it keeps the same face toward the earth. So the moon rotates on its axis the same length of time it takes to rotate the earth -28 days.
It moves, creating night and day. Do doesn't take an e, fyi.
The question is confused: a planet orbits around the sun or it rotates (spins) on its axis. It does not orbit on its axis.
Mars rotates on its axis once in 24.6229 hours, while Earth does that in 23.9345 hours. So Mars has a day about 30 minutes shorter than Earth.
how long does it take for Mercury to rotate on its own axis IN ONE DAY
