Earth completes one full rotation on its axis approximately every 24 hours. In one year, it completes 365.25 rotations, which is why we have a leap year every four years to make up for the extra quarter day.
for it to all spin it is about 1 year!
Because of the periods of Mercury's orbit and spin, a year (complete orbit around the sun) on Mercury is about 88 Earth days long, while a day (time for the Sun to appear in the same place in the sky) is twice that length, at about 176 Earth days long.
A year on Mars is equal to 687 Earth days. That is about 2 Earth years.
If the Earth did not spin on its axis, a complete day and night cycle would be the same length as one full orbit around the sun, which is about 365.25 days. This means one side of the Earth would always face the sun and experience constant daylight, while the other side would face away and experience continuous night.
The earth orbits the sun in a year
spin 365 whole circles while its in its orbit around the sun.
One year.
A "year" is the time it takes for the earth to orbit the sun. Each planet has it's own year. A "day" is how long it takes for the planet to spin all the way around.
it takes a year
It takes a whole year to for the earth to go around the sun.
A full year.A full year.A full year.A full year.
About 1.9% of one time, in a week. The whole trip around the sun is what we call a "year". That's 52 weeks.

Venus or Mercury, depending on the definition of "day" used. It takes Venus 243 Earth days to spin on its axis relative to the background stars (a "sidereal day"). It takes Venus 224.7 Earth days to orbit the Sun (its year). However, a "solar day" is only 116.75 Earth days long due to the combination of rotation time, orbit time and spin direction. (Venus spins in the other direction to Earth and most other planets.)Mercury has a "sidereal day" of about 58.6 Earth days and a year of about 88 Earth days.
A year and a day.
this is a stupid question. the earth revoles around the sun.
A whole day on mercury is 58 days, which is strange because a whole year for mercury is only 88 days. Improved answer: It's stranger than that. Mercury rotates in about 58 Earth days and that's called a sidereal day. However there is also the "solar day". That is to do with how long the Sun takes to, apparently, move round the sky. That depends on both the spin and orbital motion of a planet. For Mercury the solar day is about 176 Earth days. That's TWICE the length of the year.
