Does the earth orbit the sun to get day and night?

No, the rotation of the Earth on its axis is what causes day and night. As the Earth spins, different parts of the planet are facing the sun, creating daytime and nighttime. The Earth's orbit around the sun determines the changing seasons.


What are other earth's movement aside from rotation and revolution?

The Earth spins like a top around its own axis. The Earth orbits the Sun. The Sun has its own proper motion through the Milky Way galaxy, and orbits the center of the galaxy every 220 million years or so. The Milky Way galaxy itself is moving, but because we don't have any fixed point of reference in the universe, we don't know in what direction.


Why does the sun appear to rise and set on the earth?

The sun rises and sets because the earth rotates constantly. As the earth rotates on its tilt, it gives the illusion that the sun is moving across the sky. A day is twenty-four hours and that's how long it takes for the earth to rotate once around on its tilt. So the sun is in one place and the earth is moving. Therefore, the sun rises then sets as the earth faces the sun then turns to face the outer universal space.
