The so-called "day" of 24 hours is based on a combination of the Earth's axial
rotation and orbital revolution.
The axial rotation alone is completed in roughly 4 minutes less than 24 hours.

What unit of time results from one earth seasonal rotation?
A day. seasonal? 3 months? one rotation is 24hrs. one revolution is 1 year.
What unit of time is based upon the earth rotationg once on its axis?
The day.
What unit of time is based on the revolution of the earth around sun?
A year (365 days or 366)
What unit of time on earth is based on revolution of earth around the sun?
Yes, but different aspects of the Earth's motion. A day is the length of the rotation of the Earth (essentially turning around its own axis/center). A year is the length of time which the Earth moves around the Sun. Each time the Earth completes a whole revolution around the Sun, it has rotated approximately 365 and 1/4 times.
What is the astronomical unit based on?
An astronomical unit is the distance from the sun to earth.
What is the unit of rotation in SI?
joules
What unit of time is directly related to one orbit of the moon around the earth?
The so-called "day" of 24 hours is based on a combination of the Earth's axialrotation and orbital revolution.The axial rotation alone is completed in roughly 4 minutes less than 24 hours.One day
Is Earth one astronomical unit from the sun?
Yes, the definition of the "astronomical unit" is based on the average distance of the Earth from the Sun.
What average distance is the astronomical unit based upon?
The astronomical unit is based on the average distance of the earth from the sun, which is approximately 150,000,000 kilometers.
The number of rotations or revolutions per unit of time is?
Earth has many forms of rotation, one solar rotation is considered a solar day, loosely 24 hours. where as Earth's rotation around fixed points in space such as stars is called an interstellar day, about 23.93447191769194 hours.
How long in lights is two and half earth years?
"Lights" is not a unit of time. If you mean "light-years", that's not a unit of time, either; it is a unit of length.
What movement of the planet makes one day as a unit of time?
It is the rotation of the planet one complete revolution that determines the length of a day.
