What does the earth complete every year?

Answer 1

It takes 365.25 days for earth to orbit the sun, however because you cannot live a quarter day every year it was decided that every four years there would be a leap year with an extra day to compensate!

Answer 2

the Earth's orbit is already elliptical. which means that every year we have an eliptical orbit. the Earth's orbit ranges from 0.983AU to 1.067 AU, we pass the perfect 1AU point twice a year, every Spring and Fall.

Answer 3

Basically, each object has its own orbit. Also, such orbits tend to change over time.

The combination of mass and momentum, when in balance, can produce an orbit. Small objects such as Pluto can have even smaller objects orbiting around them. At the center of galaxies are huge masses with thousands or millions of times the mass of the Sun. Everything in a galaxy is orbiting around that mass. The Sun, and all the planets are orbiting such a mass at the center of The Milky Way galaxy.

An orbit is simply the case where something has been attracted to some other object's mass, and is falling toward that mass, while at the same time it has enough momentum to carry it past the other object without hitting it. An orbit could be stable and last forever, or unstable, and either fall into the other object or gain enough momentum to break away and fly off into space.

The orbit of the Earth is affected by the mass of the Sun, the Moon, and the other planets.

Answer 4

The term "year" indicates the time that a planet requires to complete one orbit (revolution) around the Sun.

For Earth, the year is about 365.35 days in length.

*The term "rotation" refers to the spin of a planet, while "revolution" refers to its path around a larger body. So Earth has about 365.25 days (rotations) for each of its years (revolutions around the Sun).

Answer 5

The approximate length of the elliptical orbit is about 584 million miles. (about 583,955,000 miles)

This is about 939.8 million kilometers.

There are two ways to calculate the approximate value.

1) The approximate speed of the Earth in its orbit is about 66,600 mph. This is about 1,598,400 miles per days, for 365.25 days would be 583, 815, 600 miles.

2) The approximate radius of the Earth's orbit is 93 million miles. If the orbit were circular, the circumference would be (93 x 2 x pi) million miles, or about 584,335,740 miles.

Answer 6

The Earth is constantly in motion. A single complete orbit takes about 365.256 days. The speed of the Earth when orbiting the sun is 29.78 km per second.

Answer 7

Yes it does. In fact, that's our definition of a 'year'.

Answer 8

It takes one year to complete an orbit around the Sun.
Yes it does. In fact, that's our definition of a 'year'.

Answer 9

It takes 365 days for the Earth to orbit, or make a full revolution around the sun. It takes 24 hours for the Earth to make one revolution about its axis.

Answer 10

It takes 365 days for the earth to orbit the sun in a full circle.
