Answer:

It takes Earth longer revolve around the Sun than to rotate on its axis.

explanation:

  • Rotation is spinning of the Earth around its own axis
  • The Earth takes 24 hours to complete a rotation.
  • Revolution is movement of the Earth around the Sun.
  • The Earth takes a full year or 365 days for one complete revolution around the Sun
  • Hence Earth takes longer to revolve around the sun than to rotate on its axis.
  • Moon takes the same time to revolve around the Earth and rotate around itself.
