A planet completes one rotation on its axis every day, causing day and night cycles.
It completes one rotation in a sidereal day.
It completes one orbital revolution around the earth every 27.32 days, it displays a complete cycle of phases every 29.53 days, and it completes one orbital revolution around the sun every 365.24 days on the average.
day. Geosynchronous means it follows the Earth as it spins. It is therefore always above the same point on the earth's surface. Since the Earth spins once in a day the satellite must orbit once in a day.
One rotation of the Earth corresponds to a period of 24 hours or one day.
A planet completes one rotation on its axis every day, causing day and night cycles.
It completes one rotation in a sidereal day.
When a planet completes one full rotation on its axis, it is said to have completed one day. This results in the cycle of day and night. The time it takes for a planet to complete one full rotation varies depending on the planet.
Jupiter is the planet that rotates the fastest. It completes one rotation on its axis every 9.9 hours, and is also the biggest.
The Earth completes a revolution in its orbit around the sun every 365.25 days. (rounded)
Mercury completes an orbital revolution every 88 earth days.
That is that planet's "year", or its orbital period.
Earth completes one full rotation on its axis approximately every 24 hours. In one year, it completes 365.25 rotations, which is why we have a leap year every four years to make up for the extra quarter day.

False. Earth rotates on its axis about once every 24 hours, causing day and night cycles. It completes one full rotation every day.
It completes one orbital revolution around the earth every 27.32 days, it displays a complete cycle of phases every 29.53 days, and it completes one orbital revolution around the sun every 365.24 days on the average.
