Earth was not created by the Big Bang. In fact, Earth is MUCH MUCH younger than the rest of the universe. The universe is estimated to be 12 or 13 billion years old, while the earth is about 4.5 billion years old.

∙ 13y agoThe Earth takes 24 hours to revolve once on its axis relative to the Sun (Tropical Day) or 23 hours and 56 minutes to revolve once on its axis relative to a distant star (Sidereal Day). If you are talking about the Earth's orbit around the Sun, that is about 365.25 days.

∙ 13y agoIn astronomical terms, the Earth started to form about 4.5 billion years ago when it started to accumulate matter from the early protostar. Over time, it started to accumulate more mass and as it gained in mass, it attracted greater and greater material from the floating debris. Around 4 billion years ago, one could say that the Earth was Earth as it was a large, albeit hot and molten object, orbiting the Sun. So in this simplistic term, about half a billion years.
Or you can take the other option.
According to the Genesis in The Bible, 1 day:
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.
And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. God called the light "day," and the darkness he called "night." And there was evening, and there was morning, the first day.
How long was that first day? The Bible doesn't say. Until the day and the night were created, a twenty four hour day did not exist. Scientists have theories; currently the most popular is called 'the big bang theory'.
The theory says, the entire vastness of the observable universe, including all of its matter and radiation, was compressed into a hot, dense mass just a few millimeters across. This nearly incomprehensible state is theorized to have existed for just a fraction of the first second of time. Then, a massive blast allowed all the universe's known matter and energy (even space and time themselves) to spring from some ancient and unknown type of energy; the universe expanded with incomprehensible speed from its pebble-size origin to astronomical scope. Expansion has apparently continued, but much more slowly, over the ensuing billions of years.
This would explain how God did it, but still doesn't answer how long it took for the earth to emerge as a planet.

it's been almost 14 billion years now, the universe is down to around 3 Kelvins now,
and it's still cooling.

∙ 11y agoBetter known as the "Dark Ages", the Universe was opaque (Foggy). Estimates vary but it is believed to have lasted between 150 -> 800 million years after the Big Bang.
However, with the first stars developing around 400 million years after the Big Bang, the "Dark Ages" would have ended shortly after the first stars.

A pendulum clock that keeps correct time on earth is taken to moonit will run at 6 times faster?
No. It will run 2.45 times as SLOW.
Why does the Moon orbit the Earth synchronously?
It does not. The Moon orbits the Earth every 26 days or so. (It's 29 days from full moon to full moon, because the Earth is moving in its orbit around the Sun, and it takes an extra couple of days for the Moon to get back into the same relative location from the Earth and Sun.)Another viewpoint: The Moon's orbital period is synchronised with its rotation period.It's because of gravitational effects called "tidal forces" acting for millions of years.Eventually the Moon's rotation period has slowed until now it equalsthe time taken to orbit the Earth.So, the effect of this gravitational interaction between Earth and Moon has resulted in the Moon always showing the same face to Earth.
Do the africans that was brought to America represent the tribe of judah who was taken to Babylon thousands of years ago they say history repeats itself same situation?
No, I don't believe so at all.
What distance does earth travel in one hour?
The circumference of the earth at the equator is 40,075.02 Km. So therefore the distance travels in 1 hour is equal to 40075.02/24 which equals 1669.79 Km each hour that is a rough calculation, where the distinction between solar days and celestial days is not taken into account. in a solar day, the earth actually rotates 360 plus 360/365 degrees. roughly 1.003 revolutions, which is 40,185 km. this divided by 24 equals 1674 km
Where does a society find realism today What forms has it taken?
This question has no obvious meaning. What do you mean by "realism"? What do you mean by "society"? And what would it be for the latter to "find" the former? Define your terms properly and the answer may well present itself.

Time needed to revolve Pluto around the sun?
248.09 years with an orbital speed of 4.666km/s
How long is it that it takes the moon to revolve around the sun?
The Moon orbits the Earth, and that takes 27 days to complete an orbit.Since the Earth orbits the Sun, the time taken for the Moon to go oncearound the Sun is the same as for the Earth. a year.

What is the term used to refer the time taken by solar system to revolve around the MILKY WAY?
A Galactic Year.
What is the path taken by the earth to complete one revolution?
There is no specific path in space.The earth moves around the sun relative to the sun.But the sun itself is moving and therefore the Earth's orbit is also moving.
What term denotes the time taken for the solar system to revolve around the milky way once?
It is called a "galactic year."
