365.242, the earth spins for each day, it is not exactly 365.25 days, so we have leap years to make up for it.
(oh, by the way, dumb question)
Mainly, this is caused by Earth's rotation around its axis. (Earth's revolution around the Sun results in one less day per year, than the number of rotations.)
There as different meanings for rotation and revolution. In this context a revolution can be the turning of body on its axis. In which case one revolution would be the same as one rotation. That is, there would be one rotation in one revolution. A revolution can also be the movement of a body in orbit around another body. For example, the Earth makes roughly 365 rotations during one revolution around the Sun.
The exact number of rotations of a planet is equal to one rotation per revolution. This is because the time it takes for a planet to complete one orbit around its star is typically the same as the time it takes for the planet to rotate once on its axis.
Mercury completes an orbit of the Sun in 88 Earth days, which is about 3 months or 0.24 Earth years. The slowly spinning planet makes only 1.5 rotations per revolution, giving a sidereal day of 58.6 Earth days but a solar day, sunrise to sunrise, of 176 Earth days (twice as long as its year).
Earth's rotation on its axis causes day and night. Earth's revolution around the sun causes the seasons.
During each complete revolution around the sun, the earth makes 365.24 rotations on its axis.
365 rotations per revolution.
There are approximately 365.25 rotations of the Earth during one revolution around the Sun, which is why we have leap years every four years to account for the extra quarter day.
The moon will have comepleted about four rotations around the Earth.
The earth completes one revolution around the sun every 365.24 days. That's the source of the time period that we refer to as the "year".
Mainly, this is caused by Earth's rotation around its axis. (Earth's revolution around the Sun results in one less day per year, than the number of rotations.)
The movement of one object around something else is called revolution (a rotation is when an object moves around an axis that is part of the object itself). One year = one revolution.
It takes Earth 24 hours to rotate on its axis. It takes 365.25 days to complete a revolution around the sun.

the earth's revolution makes the years, the earth's rotations make the days and nights, the tilted axis makes the seasons
Roughly 1/24th or 0.04167 of one revolution.
The answer will depend on 900 WHAT? The earth rotates 900 times in 900 days, for example, and around 328,725 rotations in 900 years.If its degrees then:-900/360 = 2.5 rotations
