Our day is based on the Earth's rotation, that is most people say it is 24 hours. If you want to get technical it takes 23 hours, 56 minutes, and 4.2 seconds.

Hong long does it take for the earth to orbit the sun?
one year exactly
How long does it take for the earths axis to wobble?
A couple billion years, but only if the Mighty Parrot is tired.
Can scientist who want to put a satellite into a polar orbit take advantage of earths rotation to give the rocket a boost?
The closer to the equator one builds launch facilities, the lower the thrust required to boost a rocket into orbit. If you stand in the center of a merry-go-round, you feel much less centripetal force than you feel on the edge, when it is spinning at the same rate.
Does it take a month for the moon to orbit the earth?
28 days
How long does it take for a satellite to orbit round earth?
I believe that is around 90 minutes or about an hour and a half. I'm pretty sure of that.
What is the shape of the orbit that the planets take called?
Elliptical Orbit
How long does the earths orbit take?
365 1/4 days
What path does the orbit take?
Most planetary orbits are elliptical.
How long does it tak earth to complete a full orbit around the sun?
It will take 24 hours. Also it will take the for the earths moon 18 hours to orbit the earth.
Are comets in circular or elliptical orbits?
Comets do indeed have orbits. Sometimes the orbits take thousands of years. For the most part, they stay in these orbits unless affected by the gravity of another body.
How long does it take for light to travel across the earths orbit around the sun?
about 16 minutes and 40 seconds
What shape does an orbit take?
It varies from planet to planet. But most planets including our own, orbit the star in an elliptical motion.
How long does it take for the light of the sun to reach?
Approximately 8 minutes 20 seconds, but this varies slightly as the Earth's orbit around the Sun is not exactly circular. The orbit is elliptical. I presume you meant "to reach Earth".
What type of path does mars take when orbiting sun?
Well, I would say its orbit is elliptical.
What type of path does Mars take when orbiting the sun?
Well, I would say its orbit is elliptical.
What type of pattern does the earths orbit take around the sun?
speeds up
Is earths orbit a gravitational force?
yes because it helps our earth to take movement
