The earth spins on it's axis, to face the sun. i.e.it takes 24 hours to do a whole rotation around it's axis.
Actually, the Earth is orbiting the Sun at the same time that it is revolving about its axis. As a result, the period of rotation of the Earth with respect to far distant stars (the sidereal day) is about 23 hours and 56 minutes, while the period of rotation of the Earth with respect to the Sun (the Tropical day) is about 24 hours.
It doesn't make any orbits in 24 hours. The earth rotates on it's own axis one full turn in 24 hours to complete a full day but it takes 365 days (366 in leap year) for the earth to make a complete orbit around the sun called a year.
It takes the Earth 365 days (one Earth year) to orbit the sun. Twenty four hours is the length of one day, the period of time it takes the Earth to complete one revolution on it own axis.
For Earth to rotate 360 degrees is 23 hours and 56 minutes.
An Earth 'day' is 4 minutes short of 24 hours - therefore, the answer is... 23 days 22 hours 24 minutes.

The Earth takes approximately 24 hours to rotate a full round - 360 degrees. That is the same as 15 degrees per hour.The Earth takes approximately 24 hours to rotate a full round - 360 degrees.

IT TAKES THE EARTH 360 DAYS TO ROTATE. it actually takes 365 days to orbit the sun and 23 hours 55 min to rotate on its axis
Every 15 degrees represent one hour. There are 360 degrees around the Earth. Divide 360 by 15 and you 24 - the number of hours in a day, and the time it takes the Earth to rotate on its axis.
Almost everything you see in the sky appears to rotate 360 degrees, all the way around thecelestial pole, in a day. That's because the earth is rotating us 360 degrees every day.Small exceptions are:Stars and outer planets . . . 361 degrees in 24 hoursThe moon . . . . . 348 degrees in 24 hours
15 degrees
If in 24 hours the Earth completes 360 degrees then in 5 hours: 360*5/24=75 degrees 75 degrees is equal to 75*pi/180= 5*pi/12 radians
360° / 24 hours = 15° / hour. Note that the 360° is an approximation.
