Rotation and revolution.
i had this on a social studies test, too. i might be wrong, but that's what i put.

There are two principle motions of the Earth. The earth rotates around on its axis. The earth is also known to revolve around the sun.
Earth revolves around the sun and rotates on its axis.
The two motions that Earth makes are rotations and revolutions.
The Earth is in orbit round the Sun, but also the Sun is moving round the centre of our galaxy, and of course we follow along.
The two principal motions of Earth are rotation and revolution. Rotation refers to the spinning of Earth on its axis, which causes day and night. Revolution refers to Earth's orbit around the sun, which takes approximately 365.25 days to complete.
There are more than two motions but the basic ones are:Revolutions Known as days that are very close to 24 hours in lengthOrbits of the sun that take close to 365.25 days
Rotation about its axis gives day and night. Orbiting the sun gives us the year.
The sun is usually the closest to the earth in winter. When the sun is the closest to the sun is summer, and two other motions of the earth are in a certain position, the earth is in an ice age. The next time that alignment will happen is in 200,000 years. Still, if it were not for global warming, the earth would be in a cooling off period.
How far away are they from each other and in relation to the Earth.&At what speed are they traveling through space.
It moves two ways if that what you are asking.
There are two different types of motions of the earth. Rotation is where the earth spins on its axis in a counter-clockwise direction. Revolution is the motion that causes the earth to revolve around the sun. It is also done in a counter-clockwise direction.
