How many hours does earth take to turn around?

23 hours 56 minutes, approximately. 365 days to orbit the sun, approximately.


How many days does it take for your planets to rotate?

Earth takes approximately 24 hours to complete one full rotation on its axis. The other planets in our solar system have varying rotation periods; for example, a day on Mars is about 24.6 hours, while a day on Venus is about 243 Earth days.


Comparing inner and outer planets movement?

The inner planets travel faster around the Sun because they are closer, while the outer planets take more time. The outer planets spin faster on their axis than the inner planets.


What is a moon and how does it move around the solar system?

Moons are approximately spherical objects which orbit planets and are smaller than the planets that they orbit, although they are still relatively large objects (so an orbiting dust particle does not qualify as a moon). Since moons orbit planets, their motion around the solar system is controlled by the planets that they orbit; planets orbit the sun, and planets take their moons with them.


Do all planets have a day that is 24 hours long and a year that is 365 days?

No, only earth. The planets year, or time it takes to make one orbit of the sun varies, depending on its distance from the sun. Mercury is the closest and will take around 88 days to go once around the sun, while Neptune (the furthest) will take around 165 years. Each of the planets spins are different. The time taken for one rotation is the length of a day - this is not really effected by how far it is from the sun, just how much speed it has from the formation of the universe. Some planets spin very slowly (even the other way in the case of Venus and Uranus). Some Planets spin very quickly.
