If you are referring to the orbit of the Earth, it means approximately 365.256 days has passed. Other planets in our solar system obviously take different paths, or "Orbits, thusly taking a different number of Earth days to complete one "Orbit of the Sun. For example, the planet Mercury is closest to the sun, thereby it has a smaller "Orbit" and completes 1 orbit of the Sun in approximately 88 Earth days. On the other extreme, the planet Neptune takes approximately 164.8 Earth Years (60,189 Earth Days)
The approximation of 365.256 Earth days per year is used. I hope this helps answer the question.
Hmmm... another interesting question.
When planets revolve around a star, the group is referred to as a "solar system".
The word "orbit"
as a noun can mean: The path a planet (our Earth) follows as it goes around a star (the Sun);
or as a verb can mean: the act of going around the the Sun.
The time period it takes for a complete orbit is called a "year", or "solar year". I hope we got close!
The Sun orbits the center of the Milky Way at a distance of approximately 24,000-26,000 light-years from the galactic center, completing one clockwise orbit, as viewed from the galactic north pole, in about 225-250 million years.
That's the Earth's "period of revolution". It is also called the "year".
It takes about 365.25 days. That doesn't exactly equal our "calendar year" which contains a whole number of days, for convenience.
1 year
A revolution is when the Earth or any planet spins around the Sun. It takes about 364 1/2 Earth days for 1 revolution or Earth year.
That might be a planet, an asteroid, a meteorite, or a piece of dust.

What causes the continuous rising and sinking of the suns gases?
Heat generated at the core.
What is unique about Plutos orbit around the sun?
All of the 8 planets that orbit the Sun are in the same general plane. That is that they are all flat. Pluto's orbit is not flat like the rest of the planets. It is like it got caught while passing by. Some think that it is a burned out comet. It is a dwarf planet, no longer considered to be a real planet.
What type of force provided by the suns gravity keeps the planets in orbit?
the gravititonal pull does; it is what keeps all the planet in the suns orbit xx
What is the force that keeps planet in orbit?
the suns gravity keeps the planets in orbit
The plants are kept in orbit by the sun's blank?
The planets are kept in orbit by the Suns gravity.
Does the suns gravity keep the planets in orbit around it?
Yeah
Do all the planets have smaller planets orbiting them?
No. Planets orbit suns, while moons orbit planets. Planets do not orbit planets.
How many moons do the suns have?
The Sun has no moons. Moons orbit Planets > Planets orbit the Sun.
How do the planets of our solar system orbit the sun?
The Suns gravitational pull.
Does the suns revolutions cause the seasons?
no. the earths orbit cause the seasons
What is mercury's position in the suns orbit?
it is nearest planet of sun in solar system.
Is stars planets?
No. Stars are like suns, around which planets may orbit.
How is the planet Kepler-16B cold enough to freeze liquid water when it orbits two Suns?
It orbits at a great distance from the suns, also it is an unstable orbit.
How are planet's kept in orbit?
planets are in orbit because of the suns gravitational field chupa naman diyan Planets are kept in their orbits by gravitational forces.
