At an average orbital speed of 107,200 km per hour, the earth would travel the distance of 107,200 x 24 x 365.25 in one year. This is equal to around 940 million km. You could also work it out by using the radius of 150 million km (earth to sun average distance) squaring this and multiplying by Pi to give an approximate circumference which would be the orbit length.
In one complete revolution of the Sun, the earth covers a total distance of 940 million km and this distance is covered in every 365.242199 mean solar days.
