It takes the Earth, on average, 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4.091 seconds (one sidereal day) to rotate around the axis that connects the north and the south poles. From Earth, the main apparent motion of celestial bodies in the sky (except that of meteors within the atmosphere and low-orbiting satellites) is to the west at a rate of 15 °/h = 15'/min, i.e., an apparent Sun or Moon diameter every two minutes.

Earth orbits the Sun at an average distance of about 150 million kilometres (93.2 million miles) every 365.2564 mean solar days (1 sidereal year). From Earth, this gives an apparent movement of the Sun with respect to the stars at a rate of about 1 °/day, i.e., a Sun or Moon diameter every 12 hours, eastward. The orbital speed of the Earth averages about 30 km/s (108,000 km/h), which is enough to cover the planet's diameter (~12,600 km) in seven minutes, and the distance to the Moon (384,000 km) in four hours.

As you have put it there are 24 hours in day & 365 days in year year is accpeted as one circle of earth arround the sun, Going by your data supllied it should take 365 days to complete on circle arround the sun or in hours calaculation if need 365 multiplied by 24 hours reasult will be 8760 hours
But it is well known that one full circle arround the is not exactly 365 days but it is 365 + 1/4 day so by this earth should take 365 +1/4 to complete one circle arround the sun. So in hours calculation (365 +1/4)*24 ie 8766 hours to coonplete one circle arround sun

Approximately 365-1/4 days

It takes 365 days for Earth to complete 1 orbit around the Sun. And a in a leap year 366 days because it takes a little less than 24 hours for Earth to rotate once so the leap year is to make up time gained from counting a day as 24 hours.

Um.... 365 days.... the Earth circles the sun in one year.... actually it's something like 365.22 days to be exact (which is why we have a leap year every 4 years to make up for the extra day that is aquired in a 4 year period).

The Earth circles the sun once a year which is 365.25 days. The .25 days is the reason we have a leap year every 4 years.

The earth completes an orbit around the sun in approximately 365.25 days. That is why we have a leap year once in 4 years.

Multiply 365 by 24 we get 8760 hrs i.e. earth takes 8760 hrs to complete 1 revolution around the sun. But more exactly its 365.25 days so adding 6 hrs. more we het 8766 hrs. So, the earth takes 8766 hrs or 365.25 days to complete one revoluton round the sun.
