How many hours does it take the Earth to do a complete spin?

Answer 1

It's an easy mistake, but the sun DOESN'T spin around the earth, the earth spins around the sun

Answer 2

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by this, so I'd say there are two possible answers, depending on just what you are asking: 1) How many times will the world spin round in a year? A) A year is 365 days, or 366 in a leap year. By definition, a day is the time it takes for the earth to spin round once, so the answer would be 365 (or 366). There is a slight variation on this. If you define a year not as a set number of days, but the time between the earth being in the same relative position to the sun, this is about 365.25 days and so the answer would be 365.25 2) How many hours are there is a year? (The spinning of the earth is irrelevant here.) A) There are 24 hours in each day. You can have 3 different values for a year, as shown above, so the answers would be: 365 days = 8,760 hours 366 days = 8,784 hours 365.25 days = 8,766 hours

Answer 3

23 hours, 56 minutes and 4.091 seconds. This is the rotational period relative to the background stars, slightly short of the 24 hour apparent day. This is due to the time difference caused by Earths progression around the sun in that time.

Answer 4

It's an easy mistake, but the sun DOESN'T spin around the earth, the earth spins around the sun

Answer 5

It takes 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4 seconds, to the nearest second. It takes a little effort to understand why the answer is NOT exactly 24 hours.

Answer 6

365.25 days the .25 is not counted in a year but that is why we have leap years as every 4 years the .25 has added up to be 1 whole day so we add another day on.

Answer 7

It takes about 24 hours for the Earth to complete one full rotation on its axis, creating a day.
