According to NASA, Earth takes 365 days 6 hours 9 minutes 9.54 seconds to orbit the sun. This length of time is called a sidereal year. This gives rise to the need for leap year, which adds and additional day to the calendar.

How long it would take a spacecraft to orbit the sun?

If its orbit is at the same distance as Earth's orbit, it will take a year, just like Earth. Closer to the Sun it will take less time; farther from the Sun it will take more time - just like any planet. The time for a specific distance can be calculated using Kepler's Third Law.

How long does it take for a space ship to orbit the earth?

The time it takes for a spacecraft to orbit the Earth depends on its altitude and speed, but an orbit typically takes around 90 minutes for a low Earth orbit. However, for higher orbits, such as geostationary orbit, it can take much longer.

Why doesnt the force of gravity pull the earth into the sun?

The Earth keeps moving. This achieves a fairly stable orbit. This orbit may decay gradually; for example, Earth's orbit gradually loses energy through gravitational waves. However, this will take a long, long time.

What is the orbit time around the earth?

Near the surface of the Earth, the time for an orbit is about one and a half hours. As objects (satellites) get farther, they would take longer for an orbit.Near the surface of the Earth, the time for an orbit is about one and a half hours.

How long does it take the moon to revovle around earth?

It takes our moon about 27.3216 average earth days to complete an orbit of the Earth. However, due to the Earth's progress in its orbit of the sun during that time, it takes an additional 2.2 days to get to the same phase, or position with respect to the sun, as when the orbit started.


How long does it take for the earth to orbit the sun one time?

That's a year. It's takes about 365 and a quarter days.
