The Earth's rotation on its axis is not directly affected by gravity except that gravity holds Earth together as a sphere.

Earth's revolution round the Sun is an "orbit" which obeys the laws of gravity.

There is also a slight transfer of the rotational energy of the Sun to Earth's revolution speed. The Sun's spin is slowing and Earth is moving away form the Sun a little. {Note, this effect is far more pronounced between the Earth and the Moon].

What is the effect of earths rotation on gravity?

Earth's rotation causes a centrifugal force that slightly counteracts gravity at the equator, making objects slightly lighter there compared to the poles. This effect is very small, however, and does not significantly impact our daily lives or activities.

What causes two distinct pressure zones between equator and the poles?

The Earth's rotation turns the polar high pressure systems westward as they move from the poles (westerlies), and the subtropical high pressure systems eastward as they move toward the equator (tropical easterlies).
