The Earth rotates once every 23 hours 56 minutes and 4 seconds.
This is called the sidereal day (as compared to the "fixed stars").
However, the solar day takes 24 hours, because the Earth is also revolving in orbit around the Sun, and takes another 4 minutes to completely turn back to facing the Sun.

How much time does Jupiter need to rotate on its axis?
The polar rotational period of Jupiter is 9 hours, 55 minutes, 40.6 seconds. The equatorial rotational period is 9 hours, 50 minutes, 30 seconds.
What is Io's rotational period?
Io's rotational period is 1.769138 days.
Which one of these planet completes its rotation in 59-60 Earth days venus mercury mars Jupiter?
Rotation means the planet spinning about it axis. (Orbit the the path of the planet round the Sun). The planet Mercury has a rotational period of 58.646 Earth days. The planet Venus has a (retrograde) rotational period of 243.0185 Earth days. The planet Mars has a rotational period of 1.025957 Earth days. The planet Jupiter has a rotational period of 9.925 hours. Obviously Earth has a rotational period of 1 Earth day.
Which planet has the shortest nights?
Jupiter would have the shortest nights, at about 5 hours each. Jupiter's rotational period is just under 10 hours.
Compare the rotational period of the inner and outer planets?
The rotational period of the inner planets is much faster than the rotational period of the outer planets. The rotation of some planets takes years to complete.
What is the rotational period of Haumea?
Haumea's rotational period is 3.9155 hours.
What is the earths rotational period?
The earth rotates 360 degrees every 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4.100352 seconds.
How long does Saturn take to rotate and revolve?
Saturn has a sidereal rotational period of 10.57 hours and a rotational velocity of 9.87 km per second. Because of its gaseous composition, it has a varying rotational period at the poles which is about 10 hours 45 minutes.
What is Makemake's rotational period?
7.8 hours
Whats the period of revolution of Mars?
Mars has a rotational period of 24.6 hours.
Plutos period of rotation?
Pluto has a rotational period equal to 153.3 hours.

What is the rotation for Ceres?
The rotational period of Ceres (the Cererian day) is 9 hours and 4 minutes.
What is the rotational period of the Celestial Sphere in hours and how would you determine that?
The rotational period of the celestial sphere is simply the reflection of Earth's rotation; therefore, it rotates once every 23 hours and 56 minutes. You can determine that by observing the apparent movement of distant stars.
How many hours are in a day after the earthquake?
Although large, the recent earthquake, or any other earthquake, will have no effect on the earths rotational spin. A day is still 24 hours long.
