A) The Earth rotates or spins at over 1000 miles per hour, (at the Equator, 0 at the Poles), taking 24 hours, our day, to make one rotation.

B) The Earth revolves around our star "The Sun," at 30 kilometers a second or 67,000 miles per hour, taking one year to make one revolution.

Does the earth spin around the moon or 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.


Where does the earth get energy to spin around the sun?

The Earth gets energy from the little elves and pixies that ride elephants and do your mum at night which vibrates the ground and turning it into mineclium energy that turns the Earth around the Sun.


If the earth spins around the sun thence the sun spins around?

The sun does not spin around the Earth; the Earth revolves around the sun in a nearly circular orbit. This motion is due to gravitational attraction between the Earth and the sun, caused by the sun's mass. The sun itself rotates on its axis, completing a full rotation roughly once every 25-35 days.


IF the earth is attracted to the sun what keeps it from falling into the sun?

The Earth does not fall into the sun because it is moving fast enough around it. Imagine a weight on the end of a string like a conker, with the weight being the earth, and where you hold the string being the sun. If you swing it around fast enough, the weight spins in circles and does not go near your hand, but if you swing it slowly, the weight will fall in. So because the earth is spinning fast enough around the sun, it does not fall in.


Does how fast earth spins effect gravity?

There is no effect to gravity due to earth fast spins because gravity is other thing and spin of earth is different thing. So we could not compare to each other. Gravity is made of mass of earth and spin of earth is due to sun, as earth revolving around the sun.
