It is the belief of astronomers that the solar system condensed out of a cloud of interstellar gas and dust. The cloud itself was originally spinning, and that rotational motion then became part of all the objects in the solar system which resulted from that cloud. If you also would like to know why the cloud was spinning, we could in theory trace it back to the Big Bang.
Additionally, our spin was complemented by the giant impact which is believed to have formed the moon, then slowed by the moon's continued existence.
On its axis Earth rotates around the sun.
Rotation refers to spin around the axis.
no the earth spins on it's axis while rotating around the sun
If by spin you mean "rotate daily" then yes. But you could refer to our "orbit" as a spin around the sun. But if you want to refer to "spin" as any oscillatory/periodic motion of the earth, then we spin around our central axis, we orbit around the sun, we precess the rotational axis around a precession axis, our obliquity oscillates periodically and our eccentricity oscillates around the foci of our elliptic orbit which is near the center of the sun. These characteristics of our orbit are known as the Milankovic cycles.
this is a stupid question. the earth revoles around the sun.
yes
The period of the earth's spin on its axis is [ 23hours 56minutes and roughly 4seconds ]. The period of the sun's apparent spin around the sky is 24 hours.
Yes, the earth does spin around its axis. That's what causes the apparent movement of the sun and the stars. If your question was rather what spinning on its axis mean? Ever saw a sphere spinning? It means that.
Actually, it is moving. It is orbiting around the sun. It is both rotating on its axis and simultaneously making its trajectory around the sun. It takes 365 days for the earth to orbit the sun.
no it is not. the earth is straight up and down. so is the sun.
The moon spins around the earth once a month. The earth spins around the sun once a year and the earth spins on it axis once a day giving rise to night and day. So in answer to your question the earth spins around the sun and the moon spins around the earth.
One day equals one spin on earth's axis.
