What is the exact duration of one complete rotation of the Earth?
Riyuchakraborty
23 hours 56 minutes and 4.1 seconds. This is the siderial rotation period, the amount of time it's takes for the earth to rotate relative to the far away stars. An actaul solar day is exactly 24 hours. The difference between the two is down to the distance that the earth has travelled around the sun in that time.

How many days does it take for the moon to make a complete trip around the earth?
this depends on what you mean. for the moon to return from one phase to the same (for example new to new or full to full) it takes 29.53059 days (29 days, 12 hours, 44 minutes and 3 seconds). this accounts for the rotation of the earth. so for all intents and purposes as viewed from the earth's surface- this is the best answer. if you watch and measure from anywhere on earth, this is the duration of one lunar orbit. the most exact answer for the question as i interpret it is on average 27.21222 days- this is the nodal month, which is the duration the mood takes to travel from one node of its orbit to the same node. this does not take into account the rotation of the earth. this is 'one complete trip' as viewed from anywhere outside the earth and is more accurate for this question as i interpret it.
Was the earth in synchronous rotation around the sun before the formation of the moon and based on the Giant Impact Theory did the impact tilt the earth and speed its rotation?
It is hard to know the exact situation before the big impact. However, most objects start with some rotation when they form from coalescing materials, and it seems unlikely that the Earth would have had enough time to slow down enough to have a synchronous rotation.
How many earth day hours equals 1 day on mercury?
It takes 243 Earth days to make a full rotation or 1 day.
Exact number of rotations of third planet to complete a revolution?
This is a planet's "day". (It can be further defined as a "siderial day", which refers to the rotation with respect to the stars, not the Sun. A planet's revolution about the Sun makes its "solar day" longer, or shorter in the case of retrograde rotation.)
How many hours it takes Jupiter turned around?
It is about half an earth day. The exact time is 0.41354 earthreal days.
What is earth's length of rotation in days?
24 hours to be exact.
Exact number of rotation of the third planet?
The third planet from the Sun is Earth. It takes 24 hours for the Earth to make one full rotation on its axis.

What is the total number of complete rotations that Earth makes in 2 weeks.Option :12714?
Well, one complete rotation on Earths axis lasts about 24 hours. (23 hours, 56 minutes, and 4 seconds to make a 360 degree rotation to be exact). There are 7 days in a week, and one Earth day lasts approximately 24 hours, so that means that in one week, it will make 7 complete rotations on its axis.

How many days on Jupiter are equal to a day on earth?
A "day" on Jupiter (its period of rotation) is about 9.9 Earth hours.So there are approximately 2.4 Jupiter days in an Earth day.
How many complete rotations would the earth make in the month of march?
It depends on what you mean by a month. Some months have 30 days but others have 31 days. February has 28 days (and 29 in a leap year). The Earth rotates once every day. So you can work it out from there. In January there are 31 days and so there are 31 rotations. The Earth rotates in about 4 minutes less than 24 hours, if you want to be more exact. Also there's the "lunar month". That's the time taken for the Moon to go through all its phases. That's about 29.5 days. So, in that case, the Earth rotates about 29 and a half times per month.

How long is a day on the planet in your earth day?
To be exact the Earth day is not 24 hours it is 23 hours 56 minuets and 4 seconds. That's the Earth's rotation time. Yes, that's the length of the "sidereal day". However the length of the "solar day" IS exactly 24 hours. That's the time for the Sun to complete one apparent journey around the sky. Comment: That answer is for the Earth. Unfortunately, it's not clear which planet this question is about.
What is the earths radius in feet?
There is no exact radius of the Earth, but the average is 3,959 miles or 20,903,520 feet. The Earth is rotating on it's axis and because of this rapid rotation the Earth's poles tend to flatten. Which makes the radius from the center to the equator larger than from the center to the poles.
What causes the position of a constellation to appear to change over a period of several hours?
On a daily basis, the rotation of the Earth. On a seasonal basis, the motion of the Earth around the sun. Over the long term ... they're all independently moving around the center of the galaxy.
