The Earth completes a full orbit around the Sun once every year. The Earth has existed for approximately 4.5 billion years or so, which means that it has 'gone around the Sun' around 4.5 billion times.

Between 3 months (for Mercury) and 165 years (Neptune). For comparison, the planetoid Sedna takes over 10,000 to go once around the Sun.

How many times does the earth spin on its axis every twenty four hours?

once, that is what determines a day


How many times does the earth rotate about its axis in a year in what direction?

the moon takes 24 hours to spin once on its axis and the earth spins Anticlockwise No, the moon takes around 28 days to rotate once on its own axis. However, using the moon as an analogy is a fine way to help think through how many times the earth rotates on its own axis in one year. As we all know, one side of the moon always faces the earth. If you were on the moon, you would see no "days" go by relative to the earth, so-to-speak, loosely, if you see what I mean. Then, if the earth moved around the sun like the moon moves around the earth, with one side always facing the sun, besides being mighty hot on one side, during one year (one revolution around the sun) it will have rotated one time on its own axis, and yet you would see no sunrise or sunset. So, zero "days" equal one revolution. Therefore 365 days equal 366 revolutions on its own axis during one year, and that is the answer. Try a dime and a quarter on the table to help visualize it. Also, remember, the anticlockwise thing (or counter-clockwise) depends on whether you are looking at the earth from "above" the north pole or "below" the south pole.


How many times a year does the international space station rotate earth each year?

The International Space Station orbits Earth every 90 minutes. So 24/1.5 = 16 times per day times 365 = 5,840 times per year.


How many degrees off axis is the earth tilted?

The earth is tilted 23.5 degrees


How many hours and days does it take Earth to rotate around it's axis?

Believe it or not, days and years are based on those movements!It takes the Earth 1 day to rotate around his own axis.The Sidereal rotation period depends on the rotation of the Earth relative to the fixed distant stars (not the Sun) and is 0.99726968 days or 23 hours 56 minutes and 4.100 seconds.It takes the Earth 1 year (365.25 days, ergo the leap year) to orbit around the sun.
