It takes Earth approximately one year to orbit the Sun due to its distance from the Sun and the gravitational forces at play. The Earth travels along an elliptical path at an average speed of about 67,000 miles per hour (107,000 kilometers per hour). The balance between the Sun's gravitational pull and the Earth's inertia keeps it in orbit, resulting in a complete revolution around the Sun taking about 365.25 days, which is why we have a leap year every four years to account for the extra quarter day.
