How many times does the Sun revolve around the Earth in one month?

Question

Help I really need to know this for my science project! I'm doing a presentation about the solar system.

Oh are you serious? Wow I always thought the sun went around the Earth.

Looks like I would have failed my project lol haha.

Ok then how many times does the Earth revolve around the Sun in one month?

Answer 1

None. The sun does not revlove around the earth. The earth revloves around the sun. And it moves about 1/12 of the way around the sun in one month - since it does take it a full year (you know 12 months) to revolve around it.

Answer 2

Boy I hope this isn't a high school science class or you are the one child left behind! Actually, the Iranians may decide the Sun revolves around the Earth, even have a conference to discuss it, right after they finish their astounding conference discussing the fact that no Holocaust occurred in World War II, that it was all made up. The lack of knowledge in this world can be truly amazing! How long is a month? It is not as many people have said, 1/12 of a year, one months has 28 days, some have 30 and some have 31 days. Our calendar was developed by the Roman Emperor Julius Caesar (the Julian Calendar). He was cleaning up a mess of a historical calendar system that at one time had 10 months and ignored about 60 days in the winter (hibernation?). Later they based the calendar on lunar months which results in 355 days per year...so each year the months shifted ~10 days relative to the seasons. To try to keep things lined up (ie keep January in the the winter rather letting it drift back to fall or summer), they added an extra month every 2-3 years. Some leaders were allowed to change the calendar as desired. This was convenient because if some particularly troublesome political adversary was bothering you too much, you might be able to declare the month over and his term expired and send him home. I'm sure the Democrats wish they could just declare it January 3 and take office and begin their mischief.

Answer 3

Don't they teach this stuff in school? Anyway the earth spins once per day, making it look like the sun moves through the sky. The sun really doesn't move, it just looks like it does since the earth is spinning. Spin around in one spot and it will look like the world is spinning around you, but you are the one who is actually spinning. The sun is at the center of the solar system, and all the planets (including the earth) circle around it. The earth orbits the sun once a year. If you ever wondered what a year measures, now you know. So in one month the earth will move 1/12th the way around the sun.

Answer 4

The Sun doesn't revolve around the Earth, the Earth orbits around the Sun!

One complete revolution by the Earth = 1 day =24 Hhrs
One complete orbit around the Sun by the Earth = 1 yr = 365.25 days

Therefore in 1 month...the Earth completes 1/12th of its orbit around the sun (to figure it out just divide the length of Earth's orbit by 12)

Answer 5

If your science project is about alternative views, then sure, the sun revolves around the earth. But otherwise, it is everything else that revolves around the sun.

Answer 6

The earth revolves around the sun.

Answer 7

Earth takes 365.25 days to go around the sun.
This is about 1/12 times per month.

By the way, the galaxy does not revolve around the sun, the sun is near the edge of our galaxy.

Answer 8

The earth revolves around the sun once every 365days, however due to Earth spinning on its own axis the rotation makes it appear as if the sun is revolving around the earth on a daily basis.

sunrise (or earth set) and sunset (or earth rise) are daily events due to this rotation.

Answer 9

The Earth completes it's orbit around the Sun in one year. There are twelve months in a year. So, one-twelfth of a revolution.

Answer 10

None! The sun stays put and the earth revolves around it...
