Question

1. list the time it takes for the following: earth rotates on its axis earth revolves around the sun moon revolves around the earth

Explanation:

• Earth's rotation on its axis: This is the daily motion of the Earth. The time it takes for the Earth to complete one full rotation on its axis is approximately 24 hours (1 day). This rotation is responsible for the cycle of day and night.
• Earth's revolution around the sun: The Earth's revolution is its annual (yearly) orbit around the sun. It takes about 365.25 days to complete one full revolution around the sun. This period is the basis for our calendar year, and the slight extra fraction of a day (0.25) is why we have a leap year every four years to keep the calendar in sync with the Earth's orbital period.
• Moon's revolution around the Earth: The Moon orbits the Earth. The time it takes for the Moon to complete one full revolution around the Earth (a lunar month) is approximately 27.3 days (sidereal month). However, the time between full moons (synodic month) is about 29.5 days, which is the period we often associate with the lunar cycle as it relates to the phases of the Moon.

Answer:

• Earth rotates on its axis: Approximately 24 hours (1 day).
• Earth revolves around the sun: Approximately 365.25 days (1 year).
• Moon revolves around the Earth: Approximately 27.3 days (sidereal month) or 29.5 days (synodic month).
