How long is 1 rotation on earth's axis?

Answer 1

24 hoursIf you divide 24 hours by 365 days, you'll see that you're left with about 4 minutes per day. In other words, the Earth rotates on its axis, but it's also orbiting around the Sun, so the Sun's position in the sky catches up by 4 minutes each day.

Answer 2

Answer: 17 hrs 14 min Earth time
Overall, Uranus rotates once every 17 hours and 14 minutes, but some of it's upper cloud levels rotate faster - once every 14 hours or so.
Uranus sidereal rotation rate is 17 hours 14 minutes 24 seconds [See Link]
17 hours and 14 mins

Answer 3

the sun is part of the solar system.

by solar system, do you mean just our planet or all the planets in the solar system.....

It takes 365 days (1 year) for the earth to rotate fully around the sun

Answer 4

Mercury: 88 daysVenus: 225 days

Earth: 365 days

Mars: 687 days (= 1.9 years)

Jupiter: 4333 days (= 11.9 years)

Saturn: 10759 days (= 29.5 years)

Uranus: 30688 days (= 84.0 years)

Neptune: 60182 days = (164.8 years)

Answer 5

For the planet Uranus to travel around the Sun, it takes 84.02 Earth years (sidereal years). If you lived on Uranus, you would call this one year.

Why?

A year is based on when a planet makes one complete orbit around the sun. ONE YEAR in Uranus time would be 84.02 Earth Years, and of ourse, one year on earth would be 365 Days or 8,760 Hours.

It takes the earth 365 1/4 or 365 days, 5 hours, 49 minutes and 12 seconds to make one complete orbit around the sun.

EX: Jan 1st, 2010 to Jan 1st, 2010

We use 365 days from the Gregorian calender which adds a day (leap year) every four years to make up the 1/4 day. Otherwise over time, the seasons would migrate into each other.

Answer 6

The exact time varies from planet to planet, for example Jupiter takes about 10 hours to make one axial rotation whereas Mercury takes 59 Earth days to make one rotation. For Earth, it is 23 hours 56 minutes. For Mars, it's about 24 hours 40 minutes Either way one axial rotation equals one sidereal day on that planet, and will vary from the observed solar day for the planet, sometimes considerably.

We can be equally certain that the rotational periods of extrasolar planets are all different as well, but our instruments are barely able to DETECT planets at interstellar distances, much less determine any detail. Perhaps in a few years when the James Webb Space Telescope is launched.

Answer 7

Revolution time...

Mercury: 88 days

Venus: 224.7 days

Earth: 365.26 days

Mars: 687 days

Jupiter: 11.86 years

Saturn: 29.46 years

Uranus: 84.01 years

Neptune: 164.8 years

Answer 8

23 hours, 56 minutes to make one full turn on the planet's axis. But with the rotation relative to the sun the distance that the Earth moves makes the length of one day 24 hours.

Answer 9

The earth rotates once every 23 hours 56 minutes. Commonly called a day.
24 HRS
24 hours

Answer 10

For Mercury it makes a revolution in 88 days.
