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.


What are the main reservoir for water on Earth?

icebergs because they are freaking huge and they are just frozen water and if every ice berg on the earth melted there would be like a billion times a billion more like feet of water on the earth (just to let you know that last part was exaggerated just a bit)

Earth's period of revolution is 8766.15 hours How many times does earth rotate during one revolution around the sun?

Earth rotates once every 24 hours. If you divide 8766.15 by 24, you get pretty close to the number of days in a year. __________ Not quite. 24 hours is the average synodic period of earth, not the rotational (sidereal) period. Earth rotates once every 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4.1 seconds roughly. This turns out to be about 23.93 hours. The orbital period of earth is 8766.152784 hours roughly. So the earth rotates (sidereal) about 366.325 times in a year. See discussion if you doubt this result.
