More than a third of Australians do not know how long it takes for the Earth to orbit the sun, a national survey assessing the public's general science knowledge has found.

The Australian Academy of Science has published its second Science Literacy in Australia report, conducted by Auspoll, which posed six basic science questions.

Only two-thirds of people aged 18 to 24 knew it took a year for our planet to travel once around the sun, compared with three-quarters of young participants asked the same question in 2010.

The academy's secretary of science policy, Les Field, said while it was gratifying to see the majority of Australians answered the question correctly, he was ''stunned'' that 40 per cent of the population did not know the correct response.

Almost a third of the poll's 1515 respondents thought the Earth took one day to orbit the sun.

Slightly more than 70 per cent of respondents knew that the earliest humans did not roam with the dinosaurs, a small increase from the number of correct responses recorded in 2010.

The percentage of people who believed evolution was an ongoing process remained steady at 71 per cent, as did the number of people who knew how much of the planet was covered by water.
