Is time related to the orbit of earth?

Time is related to the orbit of the Earth as well as the Earth's rotation around the Sun. This is because as the Earth rotates on its own axis we are moving from what is considered daytime and nigh time. Daytime being when there is sunlight and night time when there is no sunlight. It takes 24 hours for the Earth to complete one rotation. As the Earth turns on its axis, it is also orbiting the Sun, this helps to create our seasons. The seasons are determined by how close or how far any hemisphere is from the sun. It takes 365 days for the Earth to complete an orbit around the Sun.
