    days, 5 hours, 48 minutes and 45.51 seconds??
    .
    Earth
    Earth is the third planet from the Sun and the fifth largest:

    The Earth is 4.5 to 4.6 billion years old

    Earth rotates around its axis (in a counter-


    clockwise direction, when viewed looking down
    on the North Pole), producing sequencial
    periods of daylight and night.
    The period of rotation defines the day, one of
    Earth's natural time scales. Earth's rate of
    rotation is relatively rapid, that is, there are
    many rotations (days) in one revolution (year).

    This tilt gives rise to the seasons.


    For most of recorded history the
    Earth was the center of the
    universe and never moved. The
    constellations were named and
    stories were told about them. The
    Greek Aristotle wrote in the third
    century BC that the Earth was a
    sphere because different stars
    could be seen as you move north
    and south and the shadow of the
    Earth on the moon during an
    eclipse was curved. A hundred or
    so years later, Eratosthenes used
    the length of the shadow cast by
    the sun to determine the
    circumference of the Earth.
