Since I didn't specify, you can choose either so long as you can find an answer that you believe to be correct. You can choose to answer the question of "how many times does the earth rotate on its axis in a year" or "how many times does the earth rotate around the sun in a year".

It is of course, not correct. It would be, almost correct for strictest definition of year which is 1 exactly. But for calendar years it is either slightly greater or slightly less than 1. Note of course there's no point in saying "at least once" if once is an incorrect answer, that is to say the number of rotations on the earth's obit per calendar or orbital year is far greater than, and can never equal one. It would have been correct if I had worded it as "about once".

Has noone here read "Around the World in 80 days"?
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

Or a Luna Year of 28 days?
