That is how we define a day. On Earth the period of rotation is around 24 hours = 1 Earth Day. On Jupiter, something over 9 hours = 1 Jovian Day.
Assuming that this is a question about Astronomy, the answer would be "day" or, more exactly, "sidereal day".
anu way the answer is PERIOD OF ROTATION! hope i helped.
The moon takes about 27.3 days to rotate once on its axis. This rotation period is almost the same as its orbital period around the Earth, which is why we always see the same face of the moon from Earth.
The time it takes for a planet to complete one rotation on its axis is known as its sidereal day. For example, Earth takes approximately 24 hours to complete one rotation. Other planets like Venus have longer rotation periods, for instance 243 Earth days for Venus to rotate once.
The "day" on Mars, the time it takes for one complete rotation, is about 24.62 Earth hours.

A day is the period it takes an object to rotate once on it's axis.

It takes 23 hrs 56 min to rotate once relative to a distant object like a star. It takes an extra 4 minutes to rotate once relative to the Sun because we are also in an orbit round the Sun.

It is the objects orbital period.
Venus takes approximately 243 Earth days to rotate just once!
Venus.
Yes it does. This means we always see the same side of the moon facing Earth.
0.345, it takes the sun 27 days to rotate on its axis once.
25.9±0.5 hr, according to the Wikipedia article.
