365 days, 5 hours, 49 minutes and 1.20 seconds (or 365.242375 days).
The distance is not so easy; the Earth doesn't travel in a circle through space. With relation to the Sun, it does, but since the Sun is moving, the Earth moves in a helixal orbit.
But, the distance from the Earth to the Sun is 92,957,130 miles, so the circumfrence of that circle would be 584,066,873 miles.

One year. That is actually the basis and definition of a year; the time for Earth to complete one orbit around the Sun. However the length of a year was known long before we knew that Earth orbits the Sun and not the other way around. That is because as Earth orbits the Sun, the Sun can be seen moving against the background of stars in Earth's sky, and the time it takes the apparent Sun to go once around the starry sky is the same as the time for Earth to go around the Sun. It is the same motion seen from a different perspective.

365.2564 days
Earth orbits the Sun every 365.2564 mean solar days. The orbital speed of the Earth averages about 30 km/s (108,000 km/h),
