The Earth's Orbit. It takes roughly 365 days for the Earth to go around the Sun once. This means that the Earth is rushing through space around the Sun at a rate of about 67,000 miles per hour! The time it takes for the Earth to go around the Sun one full time is what we call a year.
If it were moving at the same spe â¦ ed as Earth in its orbit, it would take 5 times as long to orbit the Sun. But planets farther from the Sun actually orbit more slowly with increasing orbital distance, so Jupiter actually takes nearly 12 Earth years to make one orbit (Jupiter year).  (Earth's orbital speed is about 30 km/sec. For Jupiter it is about 13 km/sec.).
