How long does it take for the earth to revolve once on its axis?

User Avatar

One complete revolution of the Earth around the sun takes 365.25 days. A day is 24 hours, which is the time it takes the earth to revolve on it's axis plus the time it takes to catch up with the sun, which has moved 1/365.25 of one rotation away from where it was the day before. So the time for one rotation of the the Earth is one day minus 1/365.25th of a day, which is 23 hours, 56 minutes, 4.091 seconds. This is known as a Sidereal Day.

NBC channels have a running clock this morning. I have to admit I’m looking forward to the season starting.

Tgar he has an early 5:30 pm event followed by watching the Pirates sweep the Dodgers and then he is going to catch the second half of the Eagles beatdown on Dallas.

Thank God the season has finally arrived.

I am officially worried now. When there is this much hype around a Philly sports team we are being set up for a huge let down. I have been a Philly sports fan for way to long and can't deprogram myself from this brainwashing since 1978!!!

there may be a lot of hype around Philly in Philly, but nationally , imo there's next to none. On profootballtalk.com they made predictions, nobody has the Eagles in the Superbowl, some had them not even winning the division (Washington) some had them missing the playoffs. On the NFL channel the Eagles are rarely mentioned. So all is good!

I am curious to see how Washington does this year... they won't sneak up on people anymore. They have the oldest team in the NFL. Last year they had a bunch of crazy bounces and plays come through at the end of games to help them win a number of games. Tough to get those bounces 2 years in a row. Add in a much more difficult schedule and not being able to sneak up on teams I think they will have a much more difficult year posting any close to the amount of wins they had last year.

Don't know if there's another set of predictions somewhere on profootballtalk, but here, on video, 1 of the 2 talking heads predicted the Eagles in the Super Bowl. Both had them as the #1 seed in the playoffs. The other guy had the Pack beating the Eagles in the NFC Championship, with the logic that he's fine putting the Eagles there, but he wanted to mix it up and have different teams in the Super Bowl.

Oh, wait ... here's the profootballtalk writers ...


2 of 5 have the Eagles as the 1 seed. Another as the 2. Yes, 1 had them not making the playoffs and another had them as the 5 seed, but the guy who had them as the 5 also predicted them to lose in the NFC Championship game. So, even in no-hype-ville, 4 of the 5 still had them making the NFC Championship game.

Pretty much what I’ve seen.
