In July 6, 2007, the Guinness Book of Records recorded the nose of Mehmet Ozyurekas the biggest nose in the world. It measured 8.8 centimeters or 3.5 inches. He currently resides in the City of Artvin in Turkey. However, an individual named Faizan Agha recently broke this record.
Tweet. It actually takes the Earth 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4.06 seconds to make one rotation on its axis, not 24 hours. This is called a sidereal day, and is the amount of time that it takes the Earth to make a full rotation on its axis and end up in the same position relative to the stars.
The Earth rotates around once in 24 hours - that's a rate of 1000 miles per hour!. The time it takes for the Earth to rotate completely around once is what we call a day. It's Earth's rotation that gives us night and day. The combined effect of the Earth's tilt and its orbital motion result in the seasons.
