Earth's revolution around the Sun takes much longer than its rotation on its axis. One complete revolution takes 365.25 days, or one year. The Earth revolves around the Sun because gravity keeps it in a roughly circular orbit around the Sun. The Earth's orbital path is not a perfect circle, but rather an ellipse, which means that it is like a slight oval in shape (Figure 24.10).
