With respect to the Sun, it takes 24 hours (just about). With respect to the distant stars, it's slightly less... about six minutes less, which over the course of a year adds up to 1 full day.

How many hours make a day on Venus?
This question is meaningless. An Earth day would be the same length no matter what planet you are on. An Earth day would be the equivalent of 0.004 Venus days and about the same number of Venus year (it takes a whole year for Venus to go round its orbit). A Venus day is 243 Earth days. That's 243 Earth days to rotate once. Astronomers call this a sidereal day. However there is also the solar day of 117 Earth days.
How many times does the earth make complete rotations in a 2 week period?
Answer #1:It takes just under 24 hours for the Earth to rotate once on its axis.So in a two-week period (14 days)it would be 14 complete rotations.================================Answer #2:It takes 23.9344696 hours (rounded) for the Earth to rotate on its axis.Two weeks means 14 days of 24 hours each. So in a period of two weeks,the earth makes 14.038331 complete rotations. None of this has anythingto do with the number of days in a year.To put it another way, the Earth completes 14 rotations about 55minutes 3secondsbefore the two weeks has ended. That's why two weeks from today, any starwill reach the same place in the sky about an hour earlier than it gets there tonight.
Time it takes for earth to rotate?
Depends on which rotation you're thinking of. Earth around its axis, one day, approximately 24 hours Earth, around the Sun, one year, 364 .25 days Well, it's simple. We have 24 hours in a whole day from 12 a.m. to 12 a.m., so, the Earth spins at a complete rotation on its axis. so the Earth with start its rotation at 12 a.m. and it will end at 12 a.m. the next day. So, basicly, it take 24 hours, 4 minutes and 48 seconds. A rotation around the Earth's axis takes a day. A rotation around the sun takes a year. One cycle of the precession of the equinoxes takes 26,000 years.
How often does the moon rotate on it's axis?
The moon's orbit is tidally locked, with the same side always facing the earth. It follows that it rotates once per lunar cycle. One revolution around the earth equals one rotation on its axis. If the moon did not rotate, then every part of the moon would face the earth at one point or another during a month.
