One time. It takes a full year for the Earth to revolve around the sun, but it takes Earth only one day to rotate on its axis.

The actual time it takes the earth to rotate is 23 hours and 56 minutes. That is why we have an extra day every four years, known as leap year. But yes one rotation is known as a day or 24 hours officially.
