24 hours = 1day for it to spin around once on its axis
The time required for the Earth to rotate once on its axis is called a day. This rotation takes approximately 24 hours to complete.
A sidereal day.
One day.
One day.
No. Each of those "days" of which the question speaks is the length of time it takes for the earth to spin on its axis. The question is actually referring to the moon, which takes 27.32 days to spin once on its axis.
The earth completes one rotation on its axis in 23hours 56minutes 4seconds. (rounded)
It takes 1 day to rotate once around its axis, and about 365 days for the Earth to revolve around the Sun. The Earth's rotation time is about 23 hours and 56 minutes.
A day on Earth is defined as the time it takes for the planet to complete one rotation on its axis. This rotation is responsible for creating the cycle of day and night we experience. A day on Earth lasts approximately 24 hours.
The Earth rotates on its axis once in approximately 23 hours 56 minutes.
The moon rotates about its axis once per 27.3 days, which is the same amount of time it takes to complete one orbit around Earth. This is why we only see one side of the moon from Earth.
Yes it does. It takes 25.05 earth days to revolve on its axis once.
You always see the same side - as the moon takes the same time to orbit the earth as it does to rotate once on its axis !
