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.
How long is a day on Earth? Or more specifically, how long does it take for the Earth to turn once on its axis? For all the stars to move through the sky and return to their original position? Go ahead, and yell your answer answer at the screenâ¦ 24 hours? Wrong! It only takes 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4.0916 seconds for the Earth to turn once its axis. Unless that's what you said. In which case, congratulations! I'm sure you're now stumbling around in an incoherent state, trying to understand how you could have possibly messed this up.
