In spite of all the geniuses on here, the Earth actually spins on its axis in 23 hours 56 minutes and 4 seconds.
Glad to be of assisstance.

A day, so not exactly 24 hours which is why we need leap years to keep the calendar correct yet have 24-hour days. - but very well done on getting the plural of "axis" correct! It is pronounced "axeeees", so it does not sound like there is a giant underneath in space holding the Earth up on a chopper!

About 24 hours and 1 minute (approximately) : )
The extra 1 minute (over the 24 hours) adds upto 360 minutes a year (6 hours). This 6 hours adds upto 24 hours every 4th year (leap year) and added to February as the 29th day.

24 hours...but if you want to be precise, 23 hours and 59 minutes. That's why you get an extra day (leap year) every four years. All those one minutes add up to a day

On it's AXIS - 24 hours (1 full day)
It takes 365 days for the Earth to fully ROTATE 360o (Unless ofcourse it is a leap years which has 29 days in February then it takes 365.25 days.

think about that, If the earth is spine even now and you time it how long would it take for it to be this time again?
It takes a day for the earth to spine one it axes and it takes a year for it to go around the sun.
But your looking for 24 hours not a year.
