The Earth spins precisely 360 degrees - exactly one complete revolution - in 23 hours 56 minutes. So what's with the 24 hours in a day stuff? The problem is that from one day to the next, the Earth itself has moved along in its orbit - and to make up for that change, the Earth needs to spin for another 4 minutes! So "one day" is the time from noon to noon, but that's actually a little bit more than one turn.
What else can I help you with?
It takes the moon the same amount of time to orbit Earth once as it does to rotate on its axis?
Yes it does. This means we always see the same side of the moon facing Earth.
Why the sun doesn't rise everywhere at the same time Give reason.?
As the earth rotates, the sunlight can only illuminate the earth in part. As the rotation continues, so the daylight moves across the face of the earth, each country having their share of day and night in their turn.

What does a light year have to do with the sun and the earth?
A "light year" is a measure of distance, derived from "how far light can travel in one Earth year". Thus, if you shine a torch for the amount of time it takes the Earth to orbit the sun exactly once, that light would have travelled the distance of a "light year".
When the earth turn its face toward the sun that region will be?
The side of the Earth that is tilted towards the sun will experience summer.
How many time does the earth turn around its own axis in 24 hours?
Once obviously...
How long does the moon take to turn once on its axis?
Luna, Earth's Moon takes one month to turn once on its axis. That is why we use the word, "Month" (from the very old word, "Moonth") to describe that period of time.
How long does Saturn take to turn it once?

What is the duration of Once Upon a Time... Planet Earth?
The duration of Once Upon a Time... Planet Earth is 1500.0 seconds.
How many days does it take for the earth to turn once around its axis?
One. Well, not QUITE one, to be exact. It takes 23 hours 56 minutes for the Earth to turn precisely once on its axis.
If the moon is rotating like all other object why does the far side never turn into view from earth?
It is a bound rotation - the Moon rotates once every time it goes around the Earth.
When was Once Upon a Time... Planet Earth created?
Once Upon a Time... Planet Earth was created on 2008-12-22.
How many hours does it take the Earth to turn once on Its axis?
24 hours
What happens when the earth take's 24 hours to turn once on it axis?
one whole earth day will pass
How can it be night time one place on Earth and day time in another place at the same time?
Because as the earth turns and the sun does not we get the light from the sun as we turn and face the sun, when we keep turning we also turn away fron the light of the sun and another part of the earth faces the light, that is why when it day here its night in India or the opposite side of the earth.
Does the earth rotates on its axis about once ever 24 hours?
Yes, the earth rotates on its axis about once a day. From noon to noon its 24 hours, but to turn 360 degrees its slightly less, about 23.93 hours, but in that time it has orbited further around the sun, so needs a bit extra time to rotate to noon.
How long it takes earth to turn in 24 hours?
Once (plus a fraction more)
