A day.
The spinning of the earth is called rotation. It takes the earth abut 24 hours, or one day, to make one complete rotation. At the same time, the earth is moving around the sun. This is called a revolution.
The term is called 'Rotation', or more commonly used, Earth's Rotation. :)
rotation is a day or one turn on an axis and a revolution is a year or one orbit around the sun
1 rotation of the earth around it's axis is one day. 1 rotation around the sun is one year.
There are approximately 24 hours in one rotation of the Earth.
Earth's rotation takes exactly one Earth year (definition).
The turning of Earth is called rotation. Earth rotates on its axis, which takes approximately 24 hours to complete one full rotation. This rotation is what causes day and night.
The spinning of Earth on its axis is known as its rotation. It takes approximately 24 hours for Earth to complete one full rotation. This rotation is what causes day and night to occur.
The spinning of the earth is called rotation. It takes the earth abut 24 hours, or one day, to make one complete rotation. At the same time, the earth is moving around the sun. This is called a revolution.
That rotation would be called one day.
This is because the moon's rotation on its own axis exactly matches its rotation around the earth, meaning the same face of the moon is always facing the earth
The movement of an object around its own axis is called rotation. On Earth, this rotation takes about 24 hours to complete one full rotation.
The term is called 'Rotation', or more commonly used, Earth's Rotation. :)
rotation is a day or one turn on an axis and a revolution is a year or one orbit around the sun
Period of rotation is the time taken for an object to complete exactly one revolution around another object, like the earth rotating around the sun or the moon rotating around the earth.
it never stops spining. One complete rotation of the earth on its axis is called ONE DAY
Roughly speaking, a day is one rotation of the Earth. To be precise, one rotation, using the Sun (rather than the general background, like stars, etc.) as a reference point. Astronomers call this the "solar day".This day lengthvaries a little so we use the "mean solar day" of exactly 24 hours. "Mean" is another way of saying "average". (The rotation period is called the "sidereal day".)
