The rotation of the Earth produces days and nights, because different areas are illuminated at different times.

The orbit of the Earth creates years because the period of rotation dictates how long it takes for all the seasons to pass by.

The rotation rate of the Sun does not affect either the days or the years of Earth.

What phenomena resul from Earths rotation and revolution?

Rotation is the one we REALLY notice; this causes days and nights. (Of course, for thousands of years people thought it was the sky that rotated around the Earth.) Also, rotation causes the tides to move around the Earth. Rotation also affects wind directions. The Earth's revolution around the Sun takes a year. Because the Earth's axis is tilted that gives us the seasons. Also, we see different stars at night at different times of year, as the position of the Sun changes in the sky.

How is the Earth spinning on its axis?

The Earth spins on its axis due to its initial rotation when it was formed billions of years ago. This rotation creates the day and night cycle as different parts of the Earth face the sun.
