About a day, depending on the reference point. Using the Sun as a reference point, it is a day - that is the way the day is defined. But Earth also moves around the Sun in an orbit; if a you use a distant star as a reference point, Earth rotates around its axis once in 23h56m, approximately.
What else can I help you with?
Time it takes the earth to spin once on its axis?
24 hours = 1day for it to spin around once on its axis
Does the earth spin on its axis every28 days?
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.
What determines the length of a day on earth?
the time it takes the earth to spin around on its axis
What determines the length one day on earth?
the time it takes the earth to spin around on its axis
It takes longer than 24 hrs for the earth to spin on its axis but how long?
It actually takes 23 hours 56 minutes (and a few seconds) for the Earth to spin exactly one time on its axis. We say that the day is 24 hours exactly because the Earth has continued to travel in its orbit, and it takes the extra 4 minutes for the Earth to spin enough more for the Sun to be in the same apparent position in the sky.
How long does it take for the moon to spin around itself?
It takes about 27.3 days for the Moon to spin once on its axis, which is the same amount of time it takes to complete one orbit around the Earth. This synchronous rotation causes the same side of the Moon to always face Earth.
How many days does the moon take to spin around its axis?
The moon takes about 27.3 days to spin around its axis once, which is the same amount of time it takes to complete one orbit around Earth. This synchronous rotation is why we always see the same face of the moon from Earth.
How long does it take mercury to spin around its axis and how many earth days is that?
A Mercurian "day" the (time it takes it go spin once on it's axis) is equal to 58.65 earth days. Mercury turns on it's axis very, very slowly.
How long does it take the earth to spin on its axis if the spin rate is 1670 kilometer and the circumference of the equator is 40000 kilometer?
Cannot be determined with the values you give. A spin rate cannot be defined by a linear dimension, You need to specify the angular dimension and a time value. or the peripheral speed which could be a linear and a time value.
Can tsunami make the days longer?
No. The length of days is controlled by how long it takes the Earth to spin one time on its north-south axis.
The time it takes for Saturn to spin on its axis?
10 hours, 39 minutes
Does the earth spin at all of its axis all the time?
this is a dum question
