    Hi I was woundering how many days, weeks, minutes, and hours it will take to orbit around the solar system?

    Thanks,

    Stephen Brown,

    Hi Stephen,

    The Earth rotates around the Sun in 365.25 days, or 365 days and 6 hours.
    A year is usually 365 days, but every four years we get a leap year with one extra day: in a leap year, February has 29 days rather than 28.

    Mandy
