It is difficult to determine the exact number of times the Earth has orb ited the Sun since the beginning of life , as the concept of " life " as we understand it today has only existed for a relatively short period of time . However , we can make an estimate based on the current understanding of the Earth ' s orbit and the age of the universe . \n \n The Earth ' s orbit around the Sun is not a perfect circle , but rather an el lipse with a semi - major axis of about 1 4 9 . 6 million kilom eters . This distance is also known as an astronom ical unit ( AU ) and is used as a standard unit of measurement for distances within our solar system . The Earth takes about 3 6 5 . 2 5 days to complete one orbit around the Sun , which is known as a year . \n \n The age of the universe is currently estimated to be about 1 3 . 8 billion years . This means that the Earth has been orbit ing the Sun for a significant portion of the universe ' s existence . However , it is important to note that the concept of " life " as we understand it today has only existed for a fraction of this time . \n \n To estimate the number of times the Earth has orb ited the Sun since the beginning of life , we can use the current rate of Earth ' s orbit and the age of the universe . Assuming that the Earth ' s orbit has remained constant over time , we can calculate the number of or bits by div iding the age of the universe by the length of one orbit . \n \n 1 3 . 8 billion years / 3 6 5 . 2 5 days per orbit = 3 7 , 4 6 2 or bits \n \n This is a rough estimate , as the Earth ' s orbit has likely changed over time due to gravit ational forces and other factors . Additionally , the concept of " life " as we understand it today has only existed for a small fraction of the universe ' s existence , so the number of times the Earth has orb ited the Sun since the beginning of life is likely to be significantly lower than the total number of or bits . </s>
