An immense number of millions or billions of years ago, a huge star exploded. This was called a "Supernova". This blast was so powerful that it shot dust and rocks and atoms of hydrogen and some helium billions of miles away from it into what is called a 'cloud' that was all around the supernova.
Because things were not quite in balance, many parts of this cloud, still moving unbelievably fast through space, started swirling around. Eventually, this swirling made the dust and rock thicker near the center of each swirl until its force of gravity became strong enough to pull in more and more dust and rock and hydrogen and helium into the swirl's center.
In some of these swirls, there was a huge enough amount of material to collect into a giant ball, which increased the force of gravity toward the ball's center. These became stars . . . like our Sun, for instance. Smaller swirls turned into planets and planetoids. In our solar system, only the Sun ever got big enough to get enough force of gravity enough to start nuclear fusion, thus becoming a hot star.
To get to your answer: All of the above never stopped swirling, even after the swirls became giant balls. So the balls kept spinning and revolving around the stars. This is still happening, billions and billions of years later because there is hardly anything in space that would slow down the spinning and revolving. The Earth is one of these spinning balls that is still spinning and still revolving around its star, the Sun.
no the earth spins on it's axis while rotating around the sun
We can't feel the earth spinning, yet it is moving fast. The size of the earth is so big it doesn't look like it's spinning. Remember it takes around 24 hours to spin once.
Yes, "orbit" and "revolve around" mean the same thing. Not "rotate" though; that means "spin". The easy way to remember: Earth ROTATES on its axis (spins around) but REVOLVES around the Sun (while its rotating, of course.)
The rotation of the planet on its axis of spin. The spin is responsible for the day and the night.
The Earth is the accumulation of many pieces of material from space. each piece with its own speed, mass, and impact angle. The Earth's spin is the net accumulation of all the contributing parts. The spin of the Earth is not invariant - it alters a little, caused by the inter-action with the Moon. And major earth movements (tectonic plate shifts, earthquakes etc) will also have a small effect as they re-distribute the mass around the Earth.
no the earth spins on it's axis while rotating around the sun
it spins around on its axis,that is how the earth rotates.
The sun.
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.
spin 365 whole circles while its in its orbit around the sun.
it takes 24 hours for the earth to spin all the way around.
Yes
yes, it does, Anivia.
On its axis Earth rotates around the sun.
because of the orbit because of the orbit the earth spins around the sun. while the moon does the same that is why when the sun goes around the sun 1 time its a new year.
The earthnspins aroun the sun
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.
