Circumference of orbit is given by .
(Substitute
)
(Use a calculator to multiply)
Time required for revolving around the sun .
Distance to travel = circumference of Earth’s orbit =
Speed/velocity of earth = 66,698 miles/hour
\ (Substitute the values)
(Use a calculator to evaluate)
24 hours = 1 day. (A day has 24 hours)
\Divide the period of revolution by 24,
\= 1 year (A year has 365 days)
\
It takes 1 year for Earth to revolve around the Sun.
