What determines how long a planet's year is?
A planet's year consists of the time it takes it to orbit the Sun. The Earth takes 365 and a quarter days to do this. Every 4 years there is a leap year which catches us up on these fractional days.The position of a planet in its orbit can be determined by comparing its relative position from Earth when the Earth is in the "same" location (same day of the year). The positions of Venus and Mercury, which are closer to the Sun than Earth, can be observed directly, or indirectly by their "phases." The observation of phases of outer planets is a much more complex process, but also illustrates comparative positions in their orbits.The location of a planet can be determined with some precision should it experience occultation (blockage) by the Sun. This establishes it on the opposite side of the Sun from Earth.
How many days does it take planet Earth to complete an orbit?
It takes Earth 365 and 1/4 days to complete an orbit.

How can you demonstrate the tremendous size of the solar system's?
Suppose you had a rocket capable of traveling 1 million mph (1.6 million kph). At that fantastic speed you could get to the moon in only 15 minutes! To fly to the Sun (if you were dumb enough to go there and vaporize) would take roughly 4 days. To fly to the region of the farthest planet Neptune and the minor planet Pluto would take roughly 4 months. But to fly to the outermost region of the Solar System where you might find the Oort Cloud would take over 500 years.
What is the actual time your planet Earth takes to go around the sun?
the geological calender has only 365 days in a year and 366 in a leap year.the reason why there is an extra day in a leap year is it takes the earth 365.25 days to orbit once. so if you multiply 0.25 by 4 you would end up with one. this one is added as an extra day at the end of February after every four years.

How long does it take for a rocket to reach space?
All depends on the rocket. The Soyuz, for example, takes about 4-5 min, where as the Shuttle takes about 8. A sounding rocket like Atea 1 would take around 3 minuets.
How long does it take a rocket to get to the moon?
takes about 2-4 days, depending on gravity
What planet takes 248 days to go around the earth?
1). No planet goes around the earth. They all go around the sun.2). The planet with an orbital period closest to 248 days would be Venus,which takes 227 days to orbit the sun.3). Maybe you were thinking of Pluto, which takes 248 years to go around the sun.4). But Pluto isn't even officially considered to be a planet anymore.So the question finishes with 4 strikes.
