The word for a complete orbit made by Earth around the Sun is a "year." It takes approximately 365.25 days for Earth to complete this orbit, which is why we have a leap year every four years to account for the extra quarter day. This orbit is also referred to as an "elliptical orbit" due to its oval shape.
The time it takes the Earth to travel around the Sun once is called one year. This is equal to 365.24 days.
The planets have been orbiting the Sun for a very long time. However, Neptune has the longest year, about 165 Earth-years long, and since it was only discovered in 1846, 166 Earth-years ago, it has only made one orbit since it was discovered.
Because it is a satellite - it stays in orbit around Earth. And it is natural - meaning not made by humans.
The Moon takes 27.3 days to go around the Earth once, but the time from new moon to new moon is 29.5 days. This is because while the Moon is going around the Earth, the Earth keeps moving going around the Sun. By the time the Moon has made exactly one orbit, the Earth has moved another 27.3 days along in its orbit, and it takes the Moon another 2.2 days to get back into the same relative arrangement of Sun-Moon-Earth.
It was the first artificial (manmade) object to be placed in orbit around the earth. It started the space race between the USA and the USSR.
Yes the Earth completes a full orbit once per year.

There are many satellites that orbit the earth in a day or less. All of them are man made. The only real satellite that orbits the earth is the moon. That takes 28 days to complete a single orbit.
it holds the planets that orbit around the sun and what keeps the moon in orbit around the Earth
yes
A complete orbit of the sun by the Earth is a solar year. Many calendars, including the Gregorian (or Western) calendar used by most nations today are based on the solar year, because it allows for the seasons to fall on the same dates each year.
This is not something "made up"; the year is related to Earth's orbit around the Sun. 1 year = one round of Earth around the Sun.

The noun orbit is a word for the path taken by one body circling around another body; one complete circle that makes up that path. A noun functions as the subject of a subject of a sentence or a clause, and as the object of a verb or a preposition. Example:The Soviet satellite Sputnik made the first orbit of the earth by a man-made object.
Most people think it takes 1 year (365 days) but no that actually is wrong. It takes 365 and one fourth days to go around completely. However old you are is how many trips you have made around the sun in your lifetime
This was the Russian cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin, who made a complete orbit of the Earth in his Vostok rocket on 12th April 1961. Tragically, he was killed in a jet aircraft crash in March 1968.
