How fast does Earth travel

Answer 1

The number of days is about 365 1/4 and is called a year. Every year for which the last 2 digits can be divided by 4 with no remainder is a leap year [bissextile year] and this is 366 days. A day is slightly less than 24 hours as it takes that amount of time for the earth to do one revolution on its axis around its centre point - it is about 23 hours 59 minutes and 53.4 seconds, so every day is shorter than expected and this can lead to time not being the same on high accuracy electronic or atomic clocks compared to clocks used for everyday purposes
