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.

The Earth rotates on its axis and revolves around the sun.
Do the Earth rotate or revolve?
The earth rotates on its axis. It revolves around the sun.
Does the moon rotate twice on its axis as it revolves around the earth?
No, only once. Exactly.
What do moons rotate on?
Moons rotate on their axis, similar to how planets rotate on their axis. This rotation causes the moon to have day and night cycles.
How long does it take Mars to rotate around the earth?
Mars does not rotate around the Earth. It rotates on its axis, and it revolves around the Sun, just as all the other planets do.
Does the moon Luna rotate around the earth as it revolves around it?

Do earth rotate on an axis?
Yes the Earth does rotate on an axis.
Does the earth spin rotate on its axis?
Yes, the Earth does rotate on its axis.
Does the moon rotate on its axis twice each time it revolves around earth?
No. The moon rotates once for every orbit it makes around Earth.
Does moon revolves or rotate around earth?
The Moon both revolves (orbits) around the Earth and rotates on its axis. It takes about 27.3 days for the Moon to make one orbit around the Earth and also about the same amount of time (27.3 days) for it to complete one rotation on its axis. This synchronous rotation is why we always see the same side of the Moon facing Earth.
Why Does the earth rotate on an axis as it revolves around the sun?
Rotation and revolution. Gravity and Inertia. See Kepler's Law of Planetary motion.
The earth rotates and the moon revolves in opposite directions?
This statement is not accurate. The Earth rotates counterclockwise on its axis, while the Moon revolves counterclockwise around the Earth when viewed from above the North Pole. They both rotate in the same direction.
