365 and 1/4 days
The Earth rotates 15 degrees every hour, so in six hours it will have rotated 90 degrees.
The Earth rotates around its own axis in 24 hours. It rotates around the Sun in 365 days.
One day on Earth is 23.934 sidereal hours .
The Earth "turns around" every 23 hours and 56 minutes, so wait a day and see.
the Earth makes 1 rotation every 24 hours the Earth makes 1 revolution every 8766 hours.
its to prevent bed sores

The Earth makes one rotation on its own axis every 24 hours.
It takes the moon about a month (moonth) to revolve once around the earth. It's the earth's rotation more than the revolution of the moon that is responsible for the tides. If the earth rotated once every 12 hours instead of once every 24 hours, the tides would come and go twice as fast. Their height, however, should remain approximately the same.
The Earth rotates on its axis once every 24 hours, resulting in day and night cycles. The Moon also rotates on its axis, but it takes about 27.3 days to complete a full rotation, so we always see the same side of the Moon from Earth.
