Answer:

31,556,736 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

The period of Earth's orbit around the Sun, T = (365 + 1/4) days (three hundred and sixty five and a quarter days

The period of Earth's orbit around the Sun in seconds is given by converting, T =
365(1)/(4) \, days into seconds as follows;

There are 60 seconds per minute, 60 minutes in each hour, 24 hours within each day, therefore, we get;

T =
365(1)/(4)×60 sec/min × 60 min/hr. × 24hr/day = 31,556,736 seconds
