Gravity
It takes one year for the earth to orbit around the sun
The Earth has an elliptical orbit around the Sun.

This cannot happen because the gravitatonal forces of the Sun, Earth, and other planets make it so that we are held in perpetual orbit around the Sun. An unexpected disruption of this gravitational norm, like a blasck hole for example, is the only thing that could knock us out of our orbit.
It takes 11.86 earth years for Jupiter to orbit around the sun so converting the years into days. 11.86 TIMES 365 = 4329 EARTH DAYS.
It doesn't "hover", it's in orbit around the earth, just like the earth is in orbit around the sun.Basically, the moon has kinetic (movement) energy, which is continually trying to make it move out of orbit. At the same time, the earth pulls on the moon with its gravity. These forces form an equilibrium, resulting in a force that moves the around the earth.

it takes 365 days for the earth to make one complete orbit around the sun
The Earth has an elliptical orbit around the Sun.
Earth takes a lot longer to make one complete order around the sun than Mercury does. The time required for Mercury to make one orbit is equal to 88 Earth days (whereas one orbit for Earth is about 365 Earth days).
The gravity from the sun "holds" the planets into place and make them orbit the sun. Just like the gravity from the Earth makes the moon orbit the Earth.
Gravity keeps satellites in orbit. The closer you are to the Earth, the faster you have to go to maintain your orbit. At low Earth orbit, the altitude of the Space Station, you make an orbit every 90 minutes. At the Moon's distance you need over 27 days to go around the Earth. In-between there is an altitude which matches the rate of the Earth's rotation. Many satellites orbit at this altitude.
It's called an "observational orbit".

it takes exactly 364 days 22 hrs and 39 min to make one orbit around the sun....It is known as revolution of earth....
It takes Mercury around 88 Earth days to make one orbit of our sun. Roughly 4 times for every one Earth orbit (year).
