[ How many times have you, with this body] rotated with the Earth around the Sun ?
Pretty literal here. No hidden idiomatic expression as far as I know.

Concordo com O Gilmar e o Paulinho. One may add clarity as follows:
As the earth revolves around the sun, how many times, have you also, in this (earthly) body of yours, revolved around the sun?
As the earth revolves around the sun, how many times, have you also, in this (earthly) body of yours, revolved around the sun?
