Earth makes one complete rotation in 0.99726968 days... that is 23 hours 56 minutes 4.100352 seconds.

The rotation of a planet is when it spins on its axis. Different planets have different rotational periods. A rotational period is the amount of time it take an object to make one revolution. A rotational period can be more or less than the planet's actual day length depending on the direction it orbits its star relative to the direction it rotates. The rotational period and the day length are only the same when either the planet does not rotate(1 day = 1 year) or when the planet rotates at the same speed it orbits(one side always has day).

What is a planet's rotation?

A planet's rotation refers to the spinning motion of the planet on its axis. This rotation determines the length of a planet's day and creates day and night cycles as different parts of the planet are exposed to sunlight. Rotation is crucial for maintaining the planet's equilibrium and atmospheric conditions.
