I had to google how long it takes to rotate. And I had to use a calculator to find out how long 4 minutes times 365 is. But I'm keeping the cookie anyways.
Thanks!

That is actually worth a cookie in itself. I tried to verify my answer and it is amazing that the the whole internet, dealing with the rotation of the earth, was a carbon copy of this thread. Even some science forums insist on 365.25 days. (even the proselytization)

I have always felt that a day which passed and I learned nothing new, was a waste.

So u seem to think that the knowledge given from a scripture with religious commands and laws, but just happens to have for instance the word "land" mentioned through its 6,236 verses EXACTLY 13 times and the word "sea" EXACTLY 32 times, 32+13=45 13/45=28.89% and 32/45=71.11% THE EXACT PERCENTAGES of LAND AND WATER that cover our planet today, comes from some human being?
It only comes to 71% if you include the oceans, the freshwater rivers and lakes, AND the polar ice caps. Antarctica is a series of islands that is covered by glacial ice. If it wasn't covered then it would be land. That percentage is completely bullshit, because if you take out Antarctica then the world is something like 69-70% covered in water. And if the qur'an had numbers that gave you that percentage then you would calculate the world's percentage of water using that instead. And if it said 68 or 67% then you'd count the oceans on their own and say "OMG the earth's surface is 68% covered in salt-water just like god told us by stealth". Given the fact there are plenty of ways to calculate the amount of water on the surface of the earth, and they can add up to anything from 68-71% depending on how you want to add them together - ice isn't water FYI. If you are going to count all the states of water than the earth is 100% covered in water because there is water vapour in the atmosphere at every point of earth.
Here's a link that proves it:  "Ice caps, Glaciers, & Permanent Snow: volume 5,773,000mi 3/24,064,000km 3; Percentage of Fresh Water - 68.7%; Percentage of earth's surface area: 1.74%." There is more than twice as much "water" in ice and snow as there is in freshwater rivers and lakes.
And the earth's core is not molten iron. It is an iron-nickel solid.

And the earth's core is not molten iron. It is an iron-nickel solid. Modern science has only recently proven that the water covers 71.111% of the Earth, while the land covers 28.889% totaling EXACTLY 100%. So this is water on the Earth's surface. Not rain and snow and ice and glaciers but the water that actually covers the surface of the Earth is EXACTLY 71.111%. At the center of the Earth is the core, which has two parts. The solid, inner core of iron has a radius of about 760 miles (about 1,220 km). It is surrounded by a liquid, outer core composed of a nickel-iron alloy. Sep 26, 2012. The inner core of IRON is the EXACT MIDDLE of the Earth just as Chapter 57 Al-Hadyd " The Iron" is EXACTLY the middle of The Qur'an. So I appreciate u sharing that with me because it helped me to become more knowledgeable of the differences between the inner and outer core of our planet. However u still see from this scientific knowledge listed here The EXACT center of the Earth does consist of IRON which is one of the miracles that was listed. So I thank u my friend for supporting my point.
