how long does it take for earth to orbit the sun
Earth lies at an average distance of 149.60 million kilometers (92.957 million miles) from the Sun and a complete orbit occurs every 365.256 days (1 sidereal year), during which time Earth travels 940 million kilometers (584 million miles).Earth's orbit has an eccentricity of 0.0167.he Hill sphere (gravitational sphere of influence) of the Earth is about 1.5 Gm (or 1,500,000 kilometers) in radius. This is the maximum distance at which the Earth's gravitational influence is stronger than the more distant Sun, Moon and planets.
