syntax Posted January 23, 2005 Report Posted January 23, 2005 I asked this question years ago on another forum, got an answer, but I have forgotten what the answer was, so I will try you guys. If the Earth did not rotate at all on it's axis, then one year would be the same as one day, right? I don't mean that one year would be 24 hrs., I mean that one day would be 8760 hrs. (approximately). Now from that it seems apparent that the Earth does not rotate on it's axis 365 times in a normal (non leap) year. The question is, does it rotate 364 times, or does it rotate 366 times? Quote
geko Posted January 25, 2005 Report Posted January 25, 2005 I thought the earth rotated 365 1/4 days a year Quote
