One half of 365 is 182.5 or 182 days, 12 hours. That would seem logical but the earth does a complete rotation in 23h and 56min. As it travels around the sun, it has to rotate 4min extra to line up with the sun. As it turns out, the earth rotates 366.25 times in a year, 183.125 in half a year. Watch a star rise. the next night it will rise 4 min earlier.
The movement of one object around something else is called revolution (a rotation is when an object moves around an axis that is part of the object itself). One year = one revolution.
