How long does it take the Sun to complete one circuit of the ecliptic?

Answer 1

If you mean Jupiter's moon Europa, it takes 3.55 days to go once about Jupiter. Since its rotation is synchronous, that means this is also the time it takes to rotate once about its axis.

Answer 2

It takes the Sun approximately 365.25 days to complete one circuit around the ecliptic, which is the plane of Earth's orbit around the Sun. This period is known as a tropical year and is the basis for our calendar system.

Answer 3

Executive Summary: 3651/4 days.

=======================

Each year it takes the earth about 5.2 milliseconds less time to orbit the sun than the year before. In 2014 that length is about 365.24219179 days or about 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes and 45.370 seconds (in 2015 it will take about 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes and 45.365 seconds). That can be rounded off to 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes and 45 seconds until the year 2178.

Answer 4

At the moment, we don't know how much it would cost to send a human being to Europa. I presume that your intent is to bring him back? That will cost much more.

Considering the money that NASA has squandered without ever leaving low Earth orbit since 1973, the cost to go to Jovian space would likely exceed 5 trillion dollars if done by a government agency.

I have no way to know how much less it would cost for the Rutans to do it, but I suspect that it would be at least one order of magnitude less.

Answer 5

Europa is a moon of Jupiter, so it orbits the Sun (on average) in the same period of time as the planet, which is about 4332.6 Earth days or 11.86 Earth years.

Europa makes one orbit of Jupiter about every 3.55 Earth days.

Answer 6

The sun doesn't orbit the earth.

The earth and sun both orbit their common center of mass ... the place where the

pivot would have to be if the sun and earth were on opposite ends of a see-saw.

Since the sun's mass is several million times the earth's mass, that point is deep

inside the sun, so it looks essentially as if the earth is simply orbiting the sun.

One complete circuit takes roughly 365.24 days. That's the period of time that

knowledgeable experts refer to as one "year".

Answer 7

The Sun does not orbit the Earth, the Earth orbits the sun. It takes abut 365.25 days for the Earth to orbit the Sun.

Answer 8

3 and a half years approximately based on my research that I have done.

I work for NASA.

Answer 9

One year.

By definition, the amount of time required for earth to orbit the sun once is one year.

Answer 10

it takes Earth 365 days to orbit around the sun.
