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.
