Best Answer

The Earth rotates on its axis, and it revolves around the sun. Rotation is the same as spinning, and this is what a top does, or a coin that has been set spinning on its edge on a table. In the case of a coin spinning on its edge, the 'axis' goes right up through the flat dimension of the coin.
