Dear stupid: how many times does the earth rotate in a year?

Question 
Dear stupid: how many times does the earth rotate in a year?
Very simple question. In the time it takes for the earth to make a complete revolution around the sun (1 year), how many times does the Earth physically rotate?

The WIN/Gallup End of Year Survey 2013 found the US was perceived to be the greatest threat to world peace by a huge margin, with 24% of respondents fearful of the US followed by: 8% for Pakistan, and 6% for China. This was followed by 5% each for: Afghanistan, Iran, Israel, North Korea. -LINK

He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke

Yep, it is. Then again, it depends on your particular perspective. (tried just Yep, but it was too short)

RE: Dear stupid: how many times does the earth rotate in a year?
I would assume about 365, since that's how many days are in a year.

Do you mean a calendar year or an earth year?

According to Google, a calendar year is either 364 or 365 days.
An earth year is 365.25 days but some sites say 366.25
