When the Earth goes aroung the sun we are all one year older. There is really nothing that "happens". Just at the moon goes around the Earth and other moons go around other planets, all the planets, including Earth, go around the sun. The orbit is not a perfect circle, but more of an ellipse. We define one orbit around the sun as a year. The further a planet is from the sun, the longer it takes to complete its orbit. As an example, by the time Pluto makes one orbit around the sun, Earth will have completed 250 orbits.

You have to understand the earth is tilted at a 45 degree angle. As it revolves around the sun it gets closer to the sun and further away from the sun. That's how the 4 seasons happen. Closer being summer, furthest being winter, and between them spring and fall.

The Earth is always spinning, and when your little spot on Earth is rotating toward the Sun, it is morning and the Sun is rising.
