Explanation:
Earth rotates once in about 24 hours with respect to the Sun, but once every 23 hours, 56 minutes, and 4 seconds with respect to other, distant, stars (see below). Earth's rotation is slowing slightly with time; thus, a day was shorter in the past.

Dear Student,
● Answer -
Period of rotation = 86400 sec
● Answer -
As we know, earth makes one rotation in 24 hours. So you have to convert that to seconds -
Period of rotation = 24 hours
Period of rotation = 24 × 60 min
Period of rotation = 24 × 60 × 60 sec
Period of rotation = 86400 sec
Hence, earth takes 86400 sec to rotate.
Thanks dear. Hope this helps...
