Depends on which rotation you're thinking of.
Earth around its axis, one day, approximately 24 hours
Earth, around the Sun, one year, 364 .25 days
Well, it's simple. We have 24 hours in a whole day from 12 a.m. to 12 a.m., so, the Earth spins at a complete rotation on its axis. so the Earth with start its rotation at 12 a.m. and it will end at 12 a.m. the next day. So, basicly, it take 24 hours, 4 minutes and 48 seconds.
A rotation around the Earth's axis takes a day. A rotation around the sun takes a year. One cycle of the precession of the equinoxes takes 26,000 years.

Do typhoons rotate clockwise?

How do you call time takes earth to rotate on its axis?
The movement of the earth does not have an affect on time as such. Because the earths movements are not completely smooth and unchanging, it is necessary to alter our clocks, from time to time, to reflect these changes tiny though they are they accumulate.
